It is on the Order of Business. We can say that the person who was political editor of the Irish Independent prior to the general election got a job with the Government after the general election. Some of the political correspondents who currently work in Leinster House are either married to or connected to close family members who are standing for Fianna Fáil in the coming elections. Never once in all the years these individuals have been doing their work has this side of the House accused them of being biased, partial or unfit to carry out their jobs because those with whom they are connected are running for or hold office with Fianna Fáil. The Leader of this House should apologise on behalf of Fianna Fáil for the remarks that were made about George Lee in this House yesterday.
