I ask the Deputy Leader to request the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come before the House and outline the proposals for the establishment of the Garda reserve force and how he can overcome the opposition from the force to his proposals. In the Minister's statement at the time, he said the decision was subject to a decision by the Government to establish such a force and that it would be beneficial to discuss it. It is an important issue and we should debate it.

Senator Norris was not concerned when the Cubans were going through Shannon Airport at one time.
