I did a little research into the Official Report in respect of the debate in the Dáil on the interim report of the Flood tribunal. During the debate a speaker cited the Taoiseach in the House on 8 October 1997, the day of Mr. Burke's resignation, when he stated: "History will judge him for his achievements, not the unsubstantiated innuendo that may fall away now that its purpose has been achieved". This statement is most interesting in light of what we now know. I am glad we now have the interim report from Mr. Justice Flood because it shows that the allegations made against Mr. Burke were not unsubstantiated innuendo but fact. I wish Mr. Justice Flood well in carrying out the rest of his task and I hope he takes as long as he needs to complete it.
