Seán Sherlock: Questions over Seán Barrett move must be answered

The remarks by Labour minister Seán Sherlock come as the opposition threaten to bring a motion of no confidence in Mr Barrett over his claim that they are out to undermine him.
Mr Sherlock, minister of state for development and north-south co-operation, told the Irish Examiner last night: “My own view is that if there are question marks around this, then they need to be answered. In any parliamentary democracy, any need for debate needs to be paramount.”
