Jim Walsh (Fianna Fail)

I generally find Senator Fitzgerald to be measured and fair in her comments. There is an obligation on this House to afford a fair and due process to any Member who needs to account for an issue. I accord fully with the comments of Senator Mullen in that regard. I understand that Senators from all parties are on the relevant select committee, which is chaired by the Cathaoirleach. Every Senator is entitled to be heard and to receive a fair and objective assessment and adjudication of the relevant incident or issue. It can come back before the House, by all means, at that stage. If we rush to judgment by having debates without proper processes, we will do a disservice to this House. I ask Members to take account of that. I fully endorse and support what Senator Ó Murchú said.
