Commission of Investigation (Certain Matters relative to An Garda Síochána and other persons) Order 2014: Motion (15 Apr 2014)

Shane Ross: I regard this commission as an effort to smother a political problem in the midst of a larger problem. I acknowledge that there is a need to address the extraordinary incidence of taping in Garda stations, although there is a puzzle here which I have never been able to solve.

Shane Ross: The letter is so absurd in its personal attacks that it is why I said we should probably just note it and ignore it, in the sense of not answering it in detail point by point. The whole objective of this letter is to make it personal. It is to make us respond in a personal way in order to obscure the real issue. It is quite obvious that the tactics are diversionary. I do not know how many...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (1 May 2014)

Shane Ross: Can we start with what Deputy Fleming says to the effect that all commercial State organisations should come under our remit? In the light of what he says about Bus Éireann and CIE generally, which is getting approximately €270 million, we should be entitled to look at any State company receiving subsidies of that sort.
