The coaltion has won a motion of confidence in itself and the Attorney General.
The
Dáil voted 94 to 52 on the Government's own motion which was in
response to Fianna Fáil putting down a motion of no confidence in
Taoiseach Enda Kenny in the wake of the Fennelly report.
Micheál
Martin repeated his claim the Taoiseach sacked former garda commissioner
Martin Callinan, despite Enda Kenny calling on him to withdraw such
remarks.
Independent TD Clare Daly was surprised so many in
government offered confidence in the Attorney General given what the
report says about Máire Whelan.
She
told Government TDs in the Dáil: "He says that she substantially
modified her evidence months after she was asked to give that evidence
in the first place.
"(He says) that she made no effort to contact
the Minister for Justice or the Garda Commissioner, and you have the
neck to come in here and ask us to have confidence in that Attorney
General.
"And we have no more confidence in her than we do in you."
