More on the infamous roadway project O'Donoghue denies gagging Wallace
The Minister for Arts, Sports and Tourism has denied that the Government gagged the Director of the National Museum by preventing him from giving his opinion on the route of the M3 motorway to an Oireachtas Committee.
John O'Donoghue told RTÉ News that the director, Dr Pat Wallace, had a statutory obligation to give his opinion to the Minister for Environment before speaking to the committee.
Mr O'Donoghue accused opposition deputies of playing politics with the issue.
