Alleged Trotskyite appointments

Summary

Killilea asked whether former Trotskyites had been appointed to Government posts, referring to a newspaper article; the Taoiseach said he was unaware of any former Trotskyites in the House.

Is the Taoiseach aware of an article in the Evening Herald yesterday by a Mr. Feeney concerning Trotskyites being appointed by the Tánaiste? Would the Taoiseach say whether any former Trotskyites have been appointed to Government posts as non-civil servants? Would the Taoiseach have any comment to make on that article?
