Shane Ross (Independent)

I do not mind. Nobody else is taking any notice of me. His resignation indicated a dissatisfaction with what was going on. Those on the outside understood his resignation to mean he was flagging the fact that the results were predestined. That is a pity. The disappearance of the data discredited the findings, to which the Minister referred. I see no reason the data on which they based their findings could not have been released. The establishment of this body was flawed. Its findings were predestined and I agree fully with the Fine Gael demand that these payments be suspended until the implementation of productivity.
