============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

I return to the appointment by the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, of two of his close friends to taxpayer-funded positions. As has been said, this is not about qualifications; this is about process and there was no process here. To clarify the response of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to Deputy Doherty, is he committing that the Minister, Deputy Ryan, will come before the House to answer questions next week? Will the Minister tell his ministerial colleague that these types of acts of cronyism are simply not worth it and it is also not worth it in trying to evade answering genuine questions that must be put in this regard?
