Alan Kelly: I have a simple question on the same issue, given that we are going to have to do this slice by slice for as long as it takes with regard to the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Minister for Justice. That is fine. We will do it that way because the Government is running scared. When was the Taoiseach, as Taoiseach, informed - presumably this was before a Cabinet meeting - that Mr....

It is not that long ago that the Taoiseach dismissed a Minister because - he said at the time - the Minister was refusing to come into the Dáil to answer questions. This is complete hypocrisy.
