Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

I am sorry to inform the House that in one case an individual was shot from behind in a motor car by somebody who was known to the person concerned. The bullet went through the back of the man's head, came out through his mouth under his nose. He survived but despite his ordeal, he would not co-operate in any way with the Garda Síochána in identifying the perpetrator.
