- Leaders' Questions (11 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: I find the Tánaiste's strident response to the critical issues raised by other Deputies depressing. That there is a growing level of crisis in and about An Garda Síochána is undeniable. It is not conjecture or fanciful thought. Perhaps the most concerning development of recent days is the clear division opening up between senior civilian members and other members of An Garda...

Brendan Howlin: That was not the question.
- Leaders' Questions (11 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: Every crisis, scandal and issue is carefully boxed off to an inquiry by GSOC or the Committee of Public Accounts - somewhere, anywhere - and things carry on. Every Member can clearly see that the best interests of An Garda Síochána are not served by the status quo. That the Tánaiste cannot see this is a matter of great concern. She and I have known each other for a long time...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (10 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: That question was put to the Commissioner at a meeting of the Committee of Public Accounts. Her response was that she subsequently called for a committee to be put in place and the Department of Justice and Equality was represented on the committee and as far as she was concerned, that addressed her legal obligations. I do not think anybody could accept that. The senior legal adviser to An...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Commissions of Investigation (10 May 2017)
Brendan Howlin: What is the point in selecting an external person to be chairman of the audit committee if they are not giving any access to information as it arises? These are fundamental issues. We do not want to have a parallel process here but if our primary job is to restore confidence in the administration of An Garda Síochána, it is not good enough that after the arrival of one momentous...
