Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

My own house was robbed when I was away. I issued an invitation to the burglars to come back when I was there. They have not come back to me yet. These are the type of cowards with which one is dealing. They will strike when there is no one at home or if there are only vulnerable or elderly people in the house. They will not come at all if they think they will meet their match. It is an important issue of which we all need to be conscious. We need to support An Garda Síochána in the work it is doing to eliminate these people.
