Luke Flanagan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I will begin by speaking in general about this House and the equality we were meant to enjoy when we came in here.  Yesterday the Technical Group was left out of a briefing on the issue of Garda bugging and today, as usual, the Taoiseach left the Chamber before Members from the Technical Group began to speak.  I am amazed that he remained for the contribution from the Sinn Féin Member.
