Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister to make a statement about Operation Mizen, which was reported in the Daily Mail as a surveillance operation against anti-water charges protesters. We have asked a number of questions about it and the answers we have received have been more interesting for what they have not said than what they have said. The Minister has denied this is a surveillance operation but she has never ruled out, and I would ask her to clearly rule out, that anti-water charges protesters have been or are currently under surveillance by Operation Mizen or another arm of the Garda.
