There were angry exchanges between Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin finance spokesman at finance committee
At a meeting of the finance committee on Wednesday, Mr Doherty said if Mr Martin had changed his flights on the basis of security advice, why was this advice not shared with the media delegation which travelled to Japan. Mr Doherty said “the story suggests that actually under an abundance of caution you flew through Toronto because there was a risk of cancellation, and therefore you would miss the match”.
He said Mr Doherty’s assertion had nothing to do with the budget or finance matters but was him “stirring it up” and “spreading falsehoods.”Amid continuing exchanges, committee chair Mairéad Farrell warned both she would switch off their microphones if they did not stop talking over each other.
