Shatter really said it all — in 2010

Here are the detailed reasons Alan Shatter gave for why Willie O’Dea should have resigned in 2010:

“Yesterday, Minister Willie O Dea and his Fianna Fáil and Green colleagues defended his swearing of a false affidavit on the basis that the Minister in his private capacity had inadvertently made an error which he subsequently corrected, and that this had no implications for his membership of Cabinet.

“Extraordinarily in his speech yesterday, delivered at the end of the Confidence Debate, Minister O’Dea informed the Dáil that the false allegation made by him against a general election opponent, resulted from information furnished to him by An Garda Síochána.
