Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach will recall the sense of outrage that existed at the revelation that the Government proposed to grant early release to the killers of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe.

The Taoiseach will also recall that this crime consisted of the...

Leaders' Questions. (2 Mar 2005)
