Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

We should compliment Mr. Justice Morris on the comprehensive and meticulous work he has done. He has done the State and the Garda Síochána a lot of good. We have one of the finest police forces in the world. It was particularly important to restore confidence in the Garda. I am sure the members of the force would agree. I was surprised that the report contained negative comments about two public representatives, Mr. Jim Higgins, MEP, and Deputy Howlin. In some ways, those comments overshadowed the pivotal role they played in the establishment of the tribunal in the first instance.
