Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I will reply briefly to the remarks Deputies have made, although I cannot agree with anything the last speaker has said. I will not go into the detail of what he said, but I implacably disagree with everything he has said and particularly his reference to the Garda special branch, as he calls it. He said it was being used as a political police force, which I vehemently deny and reject.
