Senator Wilson spoke about Quinn Insurance. I know the Senator has raised this matter on several occasions. The Senator has tabled an Adjournment matter on the subject and I hope that he receives the answers to the questions he has posed. I am sure adequate time will be given to the Senator to raise those matters on the Adjournment. Unfortunately, I cannot agree to a full debate on the subject, but I hope the matter will be addressed adequately in the Adjournment Debate.

Senator Bradford spoke about dissident republicans. I have raised this issue in the House many times. I have always insisted that they are a threat to the institutions of this State. What has happened over recent weeks has been appalling. Let us hope that we never go back to the days where we read daily about people killed and maimed on this island. There is no place for this type of republicanism on this island. I compliment the Garda Síochána and the PSNI on their efforts in bringing these people to justice. I hope they will continue to get the resources that are necessary to protect all people on this island.
