Department of Taoiseach - Statement regarding Flood Tribunal

Department of Taoiseach - Statement regarding Flood Tribunal: "'I think that I can say on behalf of everybody that we are indebted to Mr Justice Flood for his sterling work in the Tribunal. There is no doubt that the Flood Tribunal introduced a new era into Irish politics. It has exposed serious wrongdoing in the planning field through the diligence and hard work of Mr Justice Flood and his legal team. Irish society has benefited and will continue to benefit from the work of the Tribunal. While the Government would have preferred and indeed had requested that he decide the costs issue, I understand and appreciate why it is that Mr Justice Flood is now resigning. I accept and respect his decision which has been made in the interests of the Tribunal, its work to date and into the future."AMEN?
