Confidence in Government: Motion (15 Feb 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: ...only thing Sinn Féin members are interested in is themselves; themselves alone. That is it. I ask the Sinn Féin Members to tell me how many members of An Garda Síochána were murdered by the Provisional IRA in the cause of protecting the State. Perhaps they will respond to that, because that is the issue.

Confidence in Government: Motion (15 Feb 2017)

Darragh O'Brien: ...well. What we are concerned about is getting to the truth for Garda McCabe and for Sergeant McCabe. There are six other gardaí who have never got the truth, who were murdered by the Provisional IRA while carrying out their duties. Their families have never got the truth.

Darragh O'Brien: ...debate. I will be pushing the amendment to a vote. On another very serious matter, the report issued today on the assessment of paramilitary activity, with a particular focus on the role of the Provisional IRA, as currently constituted in the Sinn Féin movement, I ask the Leader to ensure we are given time to read the report and debate in the Seanad, given the implications for...

Darragh O'Brien: ...list of these people to the authorities here? If I go back to my home in Malahide today, I do not know whether there is someone living in that town who is a paedophile, dealt with by this apparent IRA-Sinn Féin justice.

I am calling on Sinn Féin - because I am sure it has not done it - to clarify whether the Garda Síochána and the PSNI are aware of the names of all the people that the IRA interrogated and sent away from their communities, including paedophiles and sex offenders.
