Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I hope the Taoiseach had a successful trip around Kerry. I am disappointed he did not take some of the free water and bananas offered by Deputy Healy-Rae for the sustenance of the people.

I want to ask the Taoiseach about a very serious issue of which he is aware, as is every Deputy in this House - namely, that of Garda vetting. This is out of all control. I refer to this under the criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill. Something must be done, especially for voluntary groups. People have to wait four or five months to be vetted and if they move from one scheme to another they have to be re-vetted.
