Lindsay Tribunal Report: Motion.

 

It is easy for us to read the report and its recommendations and then reach a conclusion. We were not present to hear or see every item of evidence presented to the tribunal. It is too easy to attack someone who is not here to defend themselves, as has happened, unfortunately, in both debates, although much less so here than in the Dáil. If we are going to initiate investigations of this sort in the future, the model we should put in place is that employed during the investigation into DIRT, namely, a parliamentary inquiry. In that way, we would have some ownership in terms of the recommendations and actions that would flow from such an inquiry.
