Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the fact that Deputy Doherty is coming to democratic electoral process and is prepared to turn his back on the kind of behaviour in which his colleagues were involved in the past and the way they treated gardaí and whistleblowers. Whistleblowers did not get an opportunity to have an investigation appropriately heard in Sinn Féin. They usually ended up on a lonely road with their hands tied behind their backs and a bullet in their heads as the Deputies well know. The irony is not lost on anybody that they would come before this House and try to take attention away from the efforts of those of us who want to shine a light on what has happened to Sergeant McCabe.
