Susan O'Keeffe: It is about time Fianna Fáil forgot the banks. That would be a good move.

Susan O'Keeffe: I believe Senator Ó Clochartaigh is more right than he knows when he suggests much work has gone on behind the scenes in respect of CEDRA. Several people have spoken to me about the work they are doing in this regard and it would be a welcome debate, because they have been working. The Leader might be able to find an opportunity to include a debate on rural development. I wish to raise...

Susan O'Keeffe: I thank the Chairman for his patience. I do not know who it was but someone has said that Rits was of comparable capacity, is that correct?

Susan O'Keeffe: I want to follow up Deputy Flanagan's remark about journalists. I know that the Minister has said before that he has never bugged journalists and I completely accept that remark. I wonder has he asked Commissioner Callinan. There is a loophole that allows journalists who, which they may not be under lawful surveillance, may be added to another person who is under lawful surveillance. Let...

Susan O'Keeffe: I thank the Minister. I did not mean to suggest that. I was asking simply had he asked the Garda Commissioner if that capacity had been every utilised.

Susan O'Keeffe: What concerns me, when I look back at what Mr. Simon O'Brien put on the record of this committee last week was that the sweep was organised in light of some public discourse appearing to be exceptionally well-informed and that when the sweep was undertaken these things arose. Guess what? There was something awry. It is something I am left still pondering and I wonder if the Minister is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: I presume the unredacted report the Minister received from Verrimus contains the mistake.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: I find it odd that a company such as Verrimus and an organisation such as the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission would have allowed that version to be the final report. The Minister knows as well as I that if one received a report and that if it contained something that was not correct, one would - I am sure - state that it was still a draft version and ask for it to be corrected....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: It seems strange that a company such as Verrimus appears to have been very sloppy in its work. It was sloppy about the Wi-Fi and did not get to the bottom of the matter very quickly. It also referred to government-level technology but, apparently, one can buy such technology online. In addition, Rits came up with another version of the story regarding the telephone and the involvement of a...
