Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (15 Feb 2017)

Leaders' Questions (15 Feb 2017)

Micheál Martin: How did the Taoiseach know then that the commission would cover it? Mr. Justice Charleton's conclusion is retrospective. The Taoiseach did not know the detail of the allegations in the Tusla file at the time.
