Criminal Justice (Theft and Fraud Offences) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Second Stage (27 Jan 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: ...between €130,000 and €150,000. This pointed to the organised nature of this crime. Animals are sold online, are sold for cash or are got quickly onto ferries to go over to Britain and this makes Garda efforts to break this crime far more difficult. My instinct is that we need to tackle this. I was interested to hear, and nearly surprised at, Deputy Daly from Sinn Féin...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Peadar Tóibín: It is clear that the Tánaiste's conduct and actions have been unethical, underhand and deceitful. His actions may also have been illegal.

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister mentioned the increase in the number of gardaí in County Meath. Yes, the number of gardaí in County Meath has increased in the past couple of years but the population of Meath is skyrocketing so the same point stands.
