- Inquiries into Garda Activities. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: How can the Minister say that if certain measures had been in place in the late 1990s there may have been no necessity for the Morris tribunal when Mr. Justice Frederick Morris said that what he uncovered in Donegal is not peculiar to Donegal? I ask that the Minister respond to this conclusion.
- Inquiries into Garda Activities. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: What is the Minister's response to Mr. Justice Morris's conclusion that the deficiencies, malpractices, misconduct and indiscipline he discovered in Donegal over six years were not peculiar to Donegal? I ask the Minister to answer the following question rather than reading out whatever is in the file. Never mind the file. Has he had any reports from other parts of the country about the...
- Inquiries into Garda Activities. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: Is it the case that the Garda Ombudsman Commission may not deal with allegations of routine dereliction of duty within the Garda SÃochána?

- Freedom of Information. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: Does the Minister not agree it is perverse to plead overdue Garda reforms as a reason for not extending the FOI Act to the force? He is known in the House as a cautious and conservative politician. If he wants to make a name of himself in asserting real accountability, he should extend the Act to the Garda. What is his response to the Information Commissioner's statement that Ireland is...

- Freedom of Information. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: The Minister is only flim flamming. What is his reply to the Information Commissioner's repeated request that the FOI Act be extended to the Garda? Nobody is suggesting we put the security of the State at risk and we are not asking for files on subversive activity. What is his response to her recent report?
- Freedom of Information. (28 May 2008)
Pat Rabbitte: That is a lamentable reply and it is regrettable the new Minister has a philosophical and ideological opposition to the FOI Act being extended to the Garda. This is an instrument of accountability and if we have learned anything from the Morris tribunal and elsewhere, there is a necessity to improve accountability within the Garda. I ask the Minister to reconsider his position.
