Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach was then alerted to the tapping of telephone calls in and out of Garda stations. After telling the Dáil there was nothing to see, he acted in an entirely unorthodox way, and the Taoiseach will recall I said that at the time.

Let us not forget that the most important people in all of this are the victims of the crimes that were not properly investigated. Therefore, I ask the Taoiseach again if he will, as a matter of urgency, speak to the Commissioner or authorise, instruct or request the Minister for Justice and Equality to do so. Will he ask the Garda Commissioner what instructions she gave to her legal team and whether or not two senior officers claimed that Sergeant McCabe admitted to them that he acted with malice?
