Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I, too, support Senator Brain Hayes's call for a debate on what he referred to as the tyranny of a few. It is clearly the oppression of the majority by the minority. We cannot expect to succeed in upholding democratic values if we tie the hands of the gardaí. We, as true democrats, must rely on the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. There is an urgent need for a highly specialised unit of the Garda force in this city in which, I understand, there are in excess of 40 gangs. This is ludicrous.

Will the Leader update us on the future plans for Aer Rianta, of which we have an outline? In particular, I wish to ask her about the Great Southern Hotel chain which is tied to it. I know she enjoys staying in those hotels.
