Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

Yesterday, the Taoiseach expressed incredulity at what was suggested. Here are his words so that I am not accused of misrepresenting or misquoting him.
The allegation here is very clear. It is that four or five Governments, four or five Attorneys General, any number of Ministers and former Ministers, some of whom are now in the Government and some in the Opposition, and dozens of officials all conspired to deny people refunds they were entitled to. That is as far-fetched as it sounds. It is not what happened.
However, it is exactly what happened.
