Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy inquired as to why Mr. Connolly's position was terminated. Approximately two weeks ago the Deputy quoted from the transcript that has now become available as a result of its publication on Broadsheet.ie and I recall him saying that Mr. Connolly's position was untenable. Deputy Wallace read into the record a particular quote which the Members opposite enthusiastically repeat regularly in which Mr. Connolly appears to state to Sergeant McCabe that "if Shatter thinks you're screwing him, you're finished". Mr. Connolly also made another comment of that nature.
