- Leaders' Questions (26 Mar 2014)
Micheál Martin: All last week Minister after Minister, including the Tánaiste, in the public domain asked the Minister for Justice and Equality to withdraw remarks he had made about the whistleblowers in the penalty points saga and to come into the Dáil to do so. There was a sense coming up to yesterday's Cabinet meeting that the Minister was under extreme pressure from his colleagues within the...
