I ask that comments made in the House yesterday be withdrawn from the record. During a contribution on the accident and emergency units in St. Luke's Hospital Kilkenny and Wexford General Hospital, Senator Mark MacSharry stated that the flippancy of the Taoiseach is not welcome in dealing in what, on the surface, amounts to blatant corruption in most people's eyes. I asked the Senator at that time if this was what he said and asked him to withdraw the remark. Then he said, "on the surface, it would appear to be corrupt."
