I am no great fan of the Taoiseach politically, or of the party he represents, but this was an outrageous intrusion into an entirely private matter where, even though there may be an enormous degree of prurience, there is absolutely no public interest involved.

Two weeks ago I called for the sacking of the Rail Procurement Agency. Everything I have learned since confirms my view which I repeat now that the agency serves no purpose and should be sacked.
