Senator O'Reilly outlined the case of how sometime in the past the then Opposition spokesperson, a Fianna Fáil Deputy, attempted to hold the then Minister for Justice, Nora Owen, personally responsible for an untaxed tractor in Schull in west County Cork. Of course it was then and is now not the responsibility of the Government. The Government is held accountable-----
