Admission of error on GSOC

Summary

Deputy Willie O’Dea presses the Taoiseach to admit that his interpretation of the Garda Síochána Act was wrong; the Taoiseach simply replies, “Incorrect.”

The Taoiseach said in an earlier reply to Deputy McDonald that his interpretation of the relevant section of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 was excessive.

Clearly it was wrong. Can he just say it was wrong? In fairness to GSOC, will he admit that his interpretation was wrong?

The Deputy can table a substantive motion, which is in accordance with Standing Orders.
