John McGuinness: The attitude was that the culture had to be protected. The Minister would not be here today but for the fact that he set out to protect the culture that led us to this position. One need only to look at his attitude towards Maurice McCabe and John Wilson. I wish John Wilson a speedy recovery, which is something the Minister did not do. I do not doubt this affair has had an impact on his...

- Garda Inspectorate Report on the Fixed Charge Processing System: Statements (26 Mar 2014)
John McGuinness: Maybe some day the Minister for Justice and Equality is having a conversation with the Minister, Deputy Fitzgerald, he might ask her about that. Will the Minister, Deputy Shatter, apologise to the family in Wicklow whose son took his own life? There are also implications there for the Garda. What about the granddaughter and daughter of a lady, who was killed in an accident, who reported...

He wrote to me on 28 February and suggested that were I to give him the details, he would arrange to have the matter followed up. I await a response from the lady in question as to how she wishes to proceed,...

John McGuinness: Earlier today and in the previous debate, I pointed out to the Minister the serious difficulties she faces.

That letter was sent to the...
