The Deputy should not talk to me about legacy issues.

There is a strong suspicion that some of these are agents working to a different agenda from the rest of us and they are opposed to Sinn Féin because the party stands against their activities. The vast majority of people in south Armagh support Sinn Féin but even more people support the peace process. I was there last Sunday. Children and elderly people, including one lady in her 90s, are representative of that rural republican heartland and they showed they had no support for these activities and support those who stand with the PSNI.

I have appealed time out of number, as I did again on Sunday, to anyone with any information on the killings of Paul Quinn, Garda Donohoe and Keith Rogers or the attacks on Michael Bellew and Francis McCabe Jnr to give it to the PSNI or An Garda Síochána or to give it to me and I will give it to them. We need action and we need to ensure that if An Garda Síochána requires more resources to tackle this problem, they will be made available to it. Will the Taoiseach join my call for greater co-operation between the PSNI and An Garda Síochána to deal with these issues?
