That is a load of rubbish, and the Taoiseach knows it. He did not address the issues I raised. I never said the Taoiseach promoted him. I said he approved of it. Why would he approve the promotion of a superintendent to chief superintendent after being made aware of the fact that he was involved in serious Garda malpractice? Why in God's name would he do it? Will the Taoiseach explain that? He talks about the greatest reforms in the history of the State - what a load of baloney. He promised all kinds of reform last summer but it has been so minuscule, it is an embarrassment.

The Guerin report was released last May. The Government only established a commission of investigation nine months later. We probably will not see the full report of the Fennelly commission until after the election. We were due to have the report of the independent review mechanism last September but we still have not received it.
