Geraldine Feeney: I, too, rise in support of other Senators who have called for a debate on the Ferns report on which I congratulate Mr. Justice Murphy. I seldom disagree with Senator O'Toole.

Geraldine Feeney: I recognise the need for a debate on gangland crime but there is an onus on us as politicians not to interfere too much with the valuable work being carried out by the Garda Síochána.

I congratulate the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and...
