- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Review of Workplace Arrangements: Department of Foreign Affairs (8 Feb 2022)
Gerard Craughwell: I appreciate the Chairman will say he will not allow it for discussion today. However, by not allowing it for discussion today, he forces me and other members of the committee to now request the Minister to return to deal with that issue. I would much rather that we cleared it out of the way today because it is a serious matter.

Gerard Craughwell: I need to have the two issues that were raised yesterday corrected. I was not in a position to correct them yesterday, so I am very willing to take the Cathaoirleach's direction on this. It is vitally important that we deliver accurate information in this House and that we do not stoop to personalised attacks on people and their record.That happened to me yesterday and I am very upset about it.
