Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

There is very little confidence at the level of citizenship. The Oireachtas must be separate from the Judiciary and the Garda Síochána. The Minister for Justice and Equality is able to come in with title tattle and give us detail. Why can the Taoiseach not ask him to supply us with a report on Garda investigations into these matters? I am astounded the Minister for Finance said he did not know about the existence of the tapes.
