The public appreciate Mr. Justice Flood's report. Following its publication, the mantra repeatedly uttered by the Government Chief Whip, the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources and others was that the Taoiseach was to be congratulated on setting up the tribunal. The Dáil set up the tribunal, not the Taoiseach, and there was a great deal of debate in the House before it was established. The Taoiseach was forced to include the activities of Ray Burke in the terms of reference of the tribunal following pressure exerted by the Opposition in the Dáil and the publication of an article in Magill. Let us be honest about what happened.
