Clare Daly (Dublin North, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

This issue will not go away. I think five reports were produced as part of the Morris tribunal inquiries before anything was actually done. The Tánaiste has said that the report has been published and that any details of it we would like to tease out can be dealt with at committee level. That did not stop him from furnishing and repeating false assertions about the report earlier on.

I notice the Tánaiste said he had confidence in the Garda Commissioner and the Garda. The reality is that many gardaí do not have confidence in the Garda Commissioner and I certainly do not. However, I do have confidence in the ordinary members of An Garda Síochána and think they deserve better and deserve to be supported. The Tánaiste was very wise not to answer my question as to whether he had confidence in the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Taoiseach.
