Fianna Fail TD Willie O’Dea on the jailing of Ivor Callelly.
Members of different political parties have over the years breached the trust of the electorate in this way. There are a number of examples of criminal proceedings against various members of various parties.
I think, in fairness, all parties have taken a similar approach here. They’ve dealt very firmly and very decisively with any such breaches.
Secrecy breeds arrogance and ineptness and no politician of good conscience should tolerate this unless they themselves have something to hide.
