Many of us did know, however. When my party colleague, Deputy Burton, suggested that people were receiving money in return for the way they voted on planning decisions, she was inundated with writs by people who said that such an accusation was without foundation. That is the context in which all this needs to be judged. I invite Fianna Fáil – particularly its Ministers and spokespersons – to do a bit more than simply tell us what they are going to do in the future. Ultimately, public feeling about this will penetrate the consciousness of Fianna Fáil, that most defensive of organisations. I am sick of the fact that because Fianna Fáil nurtured corruption in its core via people like Ray Burke, the rest of us are smeared with that man's values and the values of those who surrounded him, such as people who, for unfathomable reasons, went to jail to protect bank accounts. That sort of culture besmirches the rest of us.
