In fact, some of the Opposition parties were calling for more money to be spent and for money to be taken out of the National Pensions Reserve Fund to fund further infrastructural development.

This motion will not fool anybody. There is great anger about the situation. We all want to see people who have broken the law brought to justice but Deputy Shatter knows more than anybody else that there is due process. There is a Garda investigation and it must take its course. The Garda assured the Minister and this Dáil that it has adequate resources to carry out its inquiries, and this Fine Gael motion will do nothing other than try to be populist in that respect.
