I did a search but didn’t find it up here yet.
He was faced with questions like;
Sinead Desmond: “You’re representing a new Fianna Fail, but then I was thinking about two things from your past. One of them being a – totally legitimate – donation by Owen O’Callaghan that found its way into your wife’s Dublin bank account. That seemed strange to me and had a sniff of the old Fianna Fail.
“And the second thing, in the Mahon Tribunal you were asked if you ever brought Owen O’Callaghan to meet Bertie Ahern and you said no that you would have remembered if such a thing happened. And then you were shown Mr Ahern’s ministerial diary which seemed to recollect a meeting between yourself, Bertie Ahern and Owen O’Callaghan but you said you couldn’t recall it. I’ll give you a chance to explain but both of those incidents smell of the old Fianna Fail that put ourselves in the position we find ourselves in.”

I saw parts of the interview. I could not watch it all because I just cannot stand Mehole the fork-tongued snake-oil salesman.

He seemed reasonable and honest. Maybe it is time to stop blaming them for the fallout from their 14 years in power and give them a second chance. It’s not like they engineered where we are. He acknowledged the mistakes, so lets all hug and make up.
