I do not accept that the indemnity agreement as concluded by the Government the day before the new Government was formed was defective or that there was an absence of adequate legal advice. The Attorney General is in many ways one of the most powerful people sitting at the Cabinet table even though he is not formally a member of the Cabinet. He would have the right and the opportunity to intervene in practically anything. The agreement could not have been finalised without his participation. I reject the implication that a better deal would have been concluded if in some way or another the Attorney General had not been sidelined. We all know the personality involved and there is probably no one in public life today who would be more difficult to exclude or sideline than the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and former Attorney General. That argument is something of a red herring.
