Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

In view of the disturbances that took place before the Kildare Street gate on Tuesday evening, which to date have not been mentioned in the House, will the Tánaiste indicate if the Government will now review security arrangements for the House? The number of ushers attending to the House has already been reduced by seven and will be reduced by ten by the end of the year. Army numbers in attendance have also been depleted, although the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform gave an indication today that he will review that.
