Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

We are just pointing out that he made mistakes. He has made mistakes and errors of judgment. He came in with Deputy Willie O'Dea, who sniped at me from under his moustache like a pet hamster in a bathroom squinting over the toilet brush. The Minister and Deputy O'Dea, between them, were going to round up these guys before the end of July.

The Minister asked what would have happened over the summer if he had not passed the legislation? Where was he during the summer? Did he see what happened during the summer anyway? Did he see the gangland murders that took place over the summer, autumn, winter and spring?
