Seán Kyne: ...the assistance of the Department and the Attorney General, could fast-track a definite course of action in respect of this matter.

Europol Bill 2012: Second Stage (4 Oct 2012)

Seán Kyne: ...European project begin to comment on this, I should point out that this Bill has nothing to do with extending the powers of Europol such that it would work like a national police force such as the Garda Síochána.

Seán Kyne: ...;l ag an Rialtas maidir le seo, ach mar a dúirt an tAire Stáit, tá ról ag na comhlachtaí poiblí eile chomh maith. Níl a fhios agam ar phlé an coiste an cheist seo roimhe seo, ach creidim gur cóir cuireadh a thabhairt do phríomhfheidhmeannaigh an HSE, RTE, an Garda Síochána agus eagrais eile chun plé a dhéanamh ar an...
