Simon Harris: The people will decide the outcome of the elections, not Deputy Collins's utterances in the Dáil.

That is an absolutely disgraceful answer from a Government that has already made a political commitment to sign up to that pact. It is an incredible situation. This is potentially the Taoiseach's first blank check with respect to the...
