The Minister's contribution to this debate was appalling. I wanted to hear the Government's answer to the allegations made by Ms Justice Laffoy, yet from what the Minister said it would appear that the judge had simply reached retiring age and was being thanked for her work on the commission. Did the Government read her letter where she outlined the numerous reasons for her resignation? It is on the public record and the Government has made various attempts to respond, but the Minister should have outlined its position in the House today.
