Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support the calls for a debate on the North when appropriate. On the RTE programme entitled "Tale of Two Cities" which was shown recently, the man to whom tribute was paid today was a shining example of all that is good and predominant about the city of Limerick. We should not forget that the lawlessness which is highlighted is confined to 100 or 120 people. In view of the huge divergence between the State solicitor, Mr. Murray, and the views of the Minister for Defence, all sincerely held views on both sides, I call on the Leader to ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come to this House to debate the growth of these criminal gangs.
