Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

The Minister must state how many other requests from Independent Newspapers for confidential Garda information have resulted in his leaking material to the media. Is he the "Garda source" so often reported in the tabloids? The Minister has breached the Garda Síochána Act 2005, legislation introduced by him, by disclosing confidential Garda information, and as such, he should be charged. The criminal offence is punishable by five years' imprisonment. I call on him to resign and, if he does not, the Taoiseach has a duty to sack him.
