the way the press were playing it, it seemed martin was on the back foot, but that analysis of the situation seems to have abated a bit since yesterday.
from the irish times:
- At 10am there was a call from Siún Ní Raghallaigh to the assistant secretary at the Department to say she had inadvertently given the Minister incorrect information earlier that week and that the remuneration board had actually approved exit payments.
- At about 11am the Minister was told. “I was quite taken aback,” Ms Martin said, adding that she would have to write to the chair because it was a “significant error”.
- At about 2.30pm, Ms Ní Raghallaigh rang the secretary general and expressed her unhappiness at the prospect of getting a letter from the Minister. She would see that as a lack of confidence and she would have to consider her position, the committee heard.
'i fucked up but if you tell me i fucked up, i'm fucking off'.
