I understand that Deputy Briscoe wishes to make a statement by way of personal explanation.
Personal Explanation by Member.
In volume 265, No. 13 of 24th May, 1973, I am reported at column 1938 as having stated in relation to the new RTE Authority that I do not agree fully with all the appointments made to the new authority. I did not say that. What I said was that I do not know all the appointees to the new authority. I wished to have this matter cleared up in case members of the new authority would have read the Dáil report in the meantime and have got an incorrect impression of what I said.
