- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner (24 Oct 2018)
Peter Fitzpatrick: As I said, it is very important for the Commissioner to keep Garda staff happy. My area has been very unlucky in recent years. On 25 January 2013, we had the murder of Garda Adrian Donohoe, and on 11 October 2015, the murder of Garda Tony Golden.

- Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (23 Oct 2018)
Peter Fitzpatrick: I ask the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, please, to allow me one minute to ask my question. The doubling of the betting tax from 1% to 2% constitutes a 100% increase.
