Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The reason I raised this question is because of the unfortunate man who was murdered in Cork last week. It appears that there is some form of a split in the dissident republican movement in the Republic. It is important the Garda and the security services keep an eye on whether there is an overlap between the gangland activity and paramilitary activity. We also need Garda presence stepped up, particularly in Cork where this problem seems to have culminated in recent times. We have to be careful we do not allow a situation to develop where tit-for-tat killings take place in respect of the dissident community.
