Culture Minister Josepha Madigan says she's "very satisfied" with what a Fine Gael review into the Maria Bailey case says about her.
Minister Madigan has refused to say whether she gave legal advice to Deputy Bailey regarding her decision to take a personal injuries claim after falling from a swing at a Dublin hotel.
Deputy Bailey was represented by Minister Madigan's family law firm, but has refused to say whether her Fine Gael colleague was directly involved.
Fine Gael has carried out a review into the case; however, the Taoiseach is refusing to publish its findings.
But Minister Madigan said she has read it in full and is happy with its finding about her.
“My own view is very straight forward about this,” she said.
“As a former partner of Madigan Solicitors, client-solicitor confidentiality prohibits me from commenting in relation to the Maria Bailey case.
“However, having read the report in full, I am very satisfied with what it says pertaining to me but it is up to the Taoiseach what he decides to proceed with after this.”
