Pat Moylan (Fianna Fail)

I wish to be associated with the remarks made by Senator Mansergh. I also concur with the many Members who have spoken in support of the Garda Commissioner and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell. Too often, we tend to criticise Ministers when something is not working out but great credit is due for the work they have done.

Members of Sinn Féin who have been involved in local organisations over the years were seen as whiter than white, while concurrently at night-time they moved many gangsters around the country who were murdering and robbing in the name of republicanism. It is wrong and they are now being seen for what they are.
