‹ Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - European Convention on Terrorism. Government Press Secretary’s conduct
Summary
Deputy Barry challenged the Press Secretary’s actions as harmful to Anglo-Irish relations and alleged the media had been misled; the Chair stopped further discussion of the matter.
The Minister has given a long account about how anxious he is to see smooth running relations between the British and Irish Governments in regard to this. I should like to ask him if he will agree that the activities of the Government Press Secretary last week were not conducive to such smooth running relations?
Comment on this
We are reverting to a matter which I thought was disposed of earlier in Question Time. That is not permitted and is not good enough.
Comment on this
I will not pursue this because the Government Press Secretary obviously misled the media.
