Following on from Mrs Dodds's comments, given the seriousness of the Muckamore inquiry, the lack of detail in the Minister's statement on the actions that he is going to take is stark and disappointing. In a couple of his responses, he reminded Members of some of the wrongdoing that occurred. All of us will say that…
