Second Interim Report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Statements.

 

My father died 25 years ago and for the first time since he passed away I am almost glad that he is not around. That is because I would have hated my father to read the report of the McCracken tribunal and the interim report of the Flood tribunal. I know there are many good people in Fianna Fáil, and Senator Mansergh is a good example of that sort of person. It is time, however, that Fianna Fáil members looked at where they are because one cannot simply consider this as some spectacular exception. I am not saying that everybody in Fianna Fáil has the ethical standards of Mr. Burke, but that party seems to be unable to separate its interests from the basic idea of right and wrong.
