Finian McGrath: I have major concerns about what is happening this morning. Have we not learned from past experience that rushed legislation has great potential to be flawed legislation?

Moreover, something that always gives me a sense of pride is that members of other police forces consistently...

In one police station I visited, 150 of its 350...
