Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach will recall that Deputy Ó Caoláin made a proposal for a special summit on collusion, given that almost 50 people were killed by British agents in this State and many more were killed in the Six Counties. That call received widespread support. Will the Taoiseach reconsider his position on such a summit and seek a dedicated meeting on this issue with Prime Minister Blair before he stands down in the next number of months?

When Mr. MacEntee's report is published, will the Taoiseach agree to a debate, or longer if required, in the House, as opposed to a short truncated hour or two hour debate, so that all Members can contribute on an issue that was tantamount to a declaration of war on this State? Nuala O'Loan's report revealed how, in one small area of her investigation, members of the Mount Vernon UVF unit were used as auxiliaries by the RUC special branch to carry out numerous killings with its knowledge and consent. Is the Taoiseach aware of the latest revelation by a former RUC detective who stated the RUC ran a senior UVF member, Colin Craig, as an agent in the Shankill Road UVF unit and that he told him in advance of the planned murder of taxi driver, Tommy Hughes, in July 1991, which was allowed to go ahead?

In his meetings with the British Prime Minister and the DUP, has the Taoiseach asked if all the tonnes of weaponry imported from South Africa through a British agent, Brian Nelson, and others have been put beyond use? These weapons, used to kill numerous people, were supplied to the Ulster Resistance, the paramilitary body that the DUP helped to set up and in which its members were prominent, particularly Ian Paisley and Peter Robinson. What information has Tony Blair or Ian Paisley given the Taoiseach about these arms? Does he accept republicans have taken huge risks in putting arms beyond use while there is no evidence that any of these Ulster Resistance weapons have been put beyond use?

What follow up has there been to the Taoiseach's recent meeting with the family of Councillor Eddie Fullerton who was assassinated in County Donegal by British agents?
