Is the chairman the same Proinsias Mac Aonghusa that writes under the pen name of "Gulliver" in The Sunday Press every week?
Ní féidir liomsa freagra ar an gceist sin a thabhairt. Níl a fhios agamsa cé hé an duine atá ag scríobh sa pháipéar sin.
It is a case of being repaid for favours. He is a propagandist for the Taoiseach and the rest of the Government. Is he not the same man that maliciously, falsely accused gardaí in Cork of having a man beaten to death in his cell?
Please let us cast no aspersions on people outside this House. This is a privileged assembly.
Facts are facts.
(Carlow-Kilkenny): An bhfuil aon bhaint ag an eolas a thug an tAire dúinn anois leis an agallamh ar an raidió inniu le cathaoirleach Bhord na Gaeilge nuair a dhiúltaigh sé aon fhocal a rá faoin tuairim a bhí ag Breandáin Ó hEithir go raibh an Taoiseach lag mar Aire na Gaeltachta.
Ní féidir liomsa ach mo thuairimí féin a thabhairt sa Teach seo, agus má tá daoine eile á gcur faoi agallamh ar RTE, ar an raidió nó ar an teilifís, ní rud é sin a bhaineann liomsa. Sin ceist do na daoine sin iad féin.
