Senator Ryan talked about the early 1980s, when every meeting was attended by gardaí if there were suspect subversives present, but it was not only that. I will tell an anecdote in that regard. I was a teacher in 1980 when three other teachers and I ran a Padráig Pearse commemoration in the large girls' school where I taught. I was visited the next evening by Special Branch who wanted to know what I had been doing and what it was all about. I know exactly what the Senator is talking about.
