Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

The people of Limerick are outraged about what happened to Roy Collins little over six months after the murder of Shane Geoghegan. The Minister has stated that this is an affront to the people but when will he bring the criminal justice (surveillance) Bill before the House for debate? It has been published, which Fine Gael welcomes, but it must be debated, enacted and fully implemented.

The Minister mentioned making membership of a criminal gang and offence, something I have long called for. When will legislation be introduced to allow for that? The gardaí in Limerick are doing great work but we want to put measures in place to further enable them to prevent any further deaths like those of Roy Collins and Shane Geoghegan.
