Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I must rebut the constant allegations being made by Senator Regan in connection with the Mahon tribunal. That tribunal is currently underway and it will report in due course. I believe the Taoiseach's evidence will be vindicated. When Senator Regan makes those comments he should refer to his former Taoiseach, Mr. John Bruton, who contradicted his evidence to the Mahon tribunal. One could not get a stronger admission of responsibility.
