Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I accept that but I really do feel strongly about the matter. I do not want to second-guess the tribunal and am in no position to do so, nor do I want to apportion blame, but I really feel the killing of John Carthy in the given circumstances was needless. Now, six years later, we are only to receive the report after the Dáil goes into recess. This is not demonstrating any respect for either the Carthy family or this House. The people are concerned about it and we ought to do them the justice of discussing the report fairly given that Mr. Justice Barr has taken such time to evaluate the circumstances painstakingly.
