The problem is that in a number of your public pronouncements since the riot two weeks ago, you have been contradicted on a number of occasions. Bob Collins said he did not receive communication from you regarding seeking advice on the use of force. I am not necessarily minded to believe Twitter, but it has contradicted you on statements you made regarding its engagement with gardaí on poisonous social media content. You have had to contradict, in a parliamentary question, this politicisation of Garda resources by your political party. I wonder what you are going to do to assure us that when you say something we can have confidence in it because you have been contradicted by Bob Collins, the chair of the Policing Authority. You have been contradicted by Twitter and your own parliamentary question on your party's political postings on social media.
