Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Everyone of them who has ever been asked has said they will come to the Oireachtas. I am confident in saying that there would be no issue of compelling any member of my party. It is a red herring for the Government to bring this up because it has often said over the past number of weeks that they would be compelled to come in. Any time any member of Fianna Fáil has been asked whether he or she would come to an Oireachtas inquiry, they have said "Yes, absolutely. When it is on?" They have been asking that for the past few years.
