I do not disagree with the Minister's points about the interaction between the Garda and the intelligence services. My problem is that intelligence services in some countries are selective in their co-operation. This committee has been asking the British Government and its intelligence service to assist us in respect of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings but there has been a complete lack of co-operation. If that was some other organisation, everybody would be jumping up and down. I need to have confidence that we are working together and that co-operation is not selective.
