Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Regarding the Garda Síochána (Policing Authority and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, which is working its way through the Oireachtas, would the Taoiseach consider giving the authority a stronger oversight role in cases dealing with allegations of Garda malpractice and cover-up? One family concerned with these issues joins us in the Visitors' Gallery this evening. Ann Doherty, the twin sister of Mary Boyle, a six-year-old girl who disappeared close to her grandparents' home in Donegal in 1977, firmly believes there was both political interference and a Garda cover-up in the case. Would the Taoiseach be willing to meet Ann Doherty to listen to her concerns regarding the Garda handling of the case?
