Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Does the Minister agree that the general philosophical political point he is making now about this dereliction being incipient in the Garda force for 20 years is not the point he promulgated alone and separately for a full week when he said that those with their knees under the Cabinet table in 1997 were responsible for the events in Donegal? This is what the Minister said and it is what he intended to say, which is a different point.
