Micheál Martin: Will he correct the record of the House?
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: Last week I read elements of the transcript of a conversation between the Garda confidential recipient, Mr. Oliver Connolly, and a Garda whistleblower, Mr. Maurice McCabe, such as how, if the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, felt the whistleblower was going to screw him, he would be finished. In addition, it was said that if complaints were exposed to the print media,...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: What has occurred is absolutely scandalous. It is not just about penalty points, it is also about other serious issues that would make one's hair stand on end. They are shocking revelations of incompetence which ultimately led to people being murdered as a result of a failure to act. It is very serious stuff which the Department of Justice and Equality has had for quite a long time but not...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: I know the Garda Inspectorate produced a report on the O'Mahony investigation. Will the Taoiseach confirm that that report is now with the Minister for Justice and Equality? Will it be published unvarnished?
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. I think the decision was the inevitable outcome of the conversation that had taken place between the confidential recipient and Mr. McCabe. I take no pleasure in saying this in respect of the individual concerned, but that is not the end of the matter by a long shot. The Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, must come into the House to...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: We are talking about the equivalent of the Neary case in the health sector. It was the whistleblower who sorted out that issue and revealed all. This is how Garda whistleblowers are being treated by the system, yet the Minister stands over it. He has stood over it the whole way through. That is the problem. When Mr. McCabe sent the Taoiseach a dossier, he wrote to his office saying he...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: It was an extraordinary reply, yet, having sent that letter to the Taoiseach, the Minister, Deputy Alan Shatter, went into the House to say the Garda whistleblower had not co-operated with the inquiry. That was a blatant untruth. That is the critical point. In the interests of fair play, the Minister needs to correct the record, if he has any sense of decency towards the individual...

- Order of Business (18 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: Can the Taoiseach clarify whether the Government is proposing legislative changes or will be sending the heads of a Bill? In that context, my colleague, Deputy Niall Collins, has published legislation that would give additional powers to the ombudsman commission, particularly in terms of bringing the Commissioner within its remit of accountability, giving access to PULSE and a number of...
- Order of Business (18 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: That is an odd excuse.
- Other Questions: Official Engagements (18 Feb 2014)
Micheál Martin: Could the Taoiseach confirm who attended the meeting? Was it just the Taoiseach and President Clinton or were others at the meeting as well? On the briefing the Taoiseach gave on Northern Ireland, Richard Haass and Meghan O’Sullivan came to Northern Ireland but the failure to reach agreement was very disappointing to all concerned and reflected badly on the main parties in the...
