Galway East TD and Junior Minister Anne Rabbitte says she "tried her damnedest" to secure a public meeting with the developer of a controversial power generator in Portumna.
It's after the East Galway Gas Plant Concern Group issued an open letter last week - calling on her to step up or resign.
It claimed she's failed to show her committment to the best interests of the local community.
The open letter contains a number of allegations - which Minister Rabbitte has described as "disappointing" to Galway Talks.
Fianna Fail Minister Rabbitte addressed each claim with John Morley - and you can listen back on the Galway Bay FM website.
But Minister Rabbitte told John she did everything she could to secure a public meeting with the developer.
