Where did the Taoiseach keep the £50,000 he gathered, by his own admission, between 1987 and 1993?
I ask Senator Callanan to cease interrupting for a moment. Can anyone explain where the £50,000 was held? The Taoiseach has admitted he did not have a bank account of his own in this jurisdiction be...
