Niall Collins (Limerick, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

One would have imagined that on the Sunday the Taoiseach would have got the Minister, the Attorney General, the Secretaries General and the Garda Commissioner around a table when everybody was available. It does not make sense and we need to hear the truth. The bottom line is that the public has lost confidence in the Minister. His own people are reporting it to him. Throughout the country, local election campaigns are under way and the feedback is that the public has lost confidence in Deputy Alan Shatter to oversee the administration of justice. We are taking our legitimate opportunity here in the Parliament to articulate that again.
