- Seanad: Confidence in Minister for Justice and Equality and Defence: Motion (27 Feb 2013)
Marc MacSharry: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. He is always welcome but we and many other Senators would have preferred if the Minister had chosen to attend. My party has submitted a freedom of information request on the Minister's diary for today to find out where he went this afternoon. If he attended a European meeting then it would not be such a secret. It is unfortunate that he could...

Marc MacSharry: Let us examine chapter 6.4 on page 28 of the manifesto document which states: "Fine Gael will put an increased emphasis on Community Gardaà and encourage members to live in the communities they serve." In the same paragraph, it outlined how it would end wasting the time that law enforcement officers spend checking passports at airports or doing administrative duties in Garda stations so...

In that large area from Ballina in north Mayo to Ballisodare in Sligo, there are eight gardaÃ, one car and one sergeant. That sounds very good but at any one time there are two gardaà on duty. There are aggravated burglaries and in one instance, a man left his wife in the house while he went to...
