The former Minister, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, introduced the legislation for the protection of whistleblowers and set up the disclosures tribunal to get to the full facts. That is all I am interested in. I am not interested in obfuscation.

I made the point in this House on two occasions last week that the Department of Justice and Equality is dysfunctional. I do not condone or support any Department that fails to give documentation to a tribunal. I am on the record in this House, long before the Tánaiste resigned today, about the fact that there needs to be full disclosure to the tribunal. I have only one motivation, namely, that the truth emerges and that the McCabe family receives justice. I have no other motivation and would be very happy to have that debate. When the former Tánaiste was Minister for Justice and Equality, she established the Toland review. The Taoiseach asked for a trawl within the Department to ensure that all documentation was produced and presented.
