Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (20 Apr 2005)

Paddy McHugh: I welcome the main provisions of this Bill, namely, the reform of the law relating to the administration and management of the Garda Síochána and, most importantly, the establishment of an independent Garda ombudsman commission.

The additional gardaí have not been recruited and trained nor are they on the...

Garda Síochána Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (20 Apr 2005)

Paddy McHugh: The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform could do the State a service by tackling this issue and delivering improvements to make the lives of people worth living again.

Paddy McHugh: The motion is the best illustration of the inequity in society one could possibly imagine. It vividly illustrates the nature of Irish society as seen through the eyes of Government. By the partisan manner in which the Government has addressed the national roll-out of BreastCheck, it has firmly illustrated that a two-tier society exists within our shores.
