Martin ‘has no fears’ of report into illegal charges

FORMER Health Minister Micheál Martin insisted yesterday he was “not fearful” of the Travers Report into the controversial nursing home overcharging delivered to Tánaiste Mary Harney last night.

Ms Harney will not publish the contents of the 150-page report by former Forfás head John Travers until next Tuesday after she brings it to Cabinet.

But Mr Martin will not get a copy of the report until Tuesday only the Taoiseach, Tánaiste, Finance Minister Brian Cowen and Attorney General Rory Brady got copies of the report last night because they are all members of the Cabinet sub-committee examining this matter.
