Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway-Roscommon Deputy Denis Naughten says he accepts his resignation as Communications Minister is just part of the 'cut and thrust' of the political system.
However, Deputy Naughten - who tendered his shock resignation in the Dáil yesterday - admits it is one of the low points of his 18 year career.
Deputy Naughten says he had nothing personal to gain - and his only aim was to bring broadband into every home in Ireland.
