I am asking that we should discuss this and I am giving my reasons, such as members of the Garda Síochána planting bombs and lying on oath and so on. Mr. Justice Morris suggested it was wrong to go to the Minister; I think it was very responsible indeed. They did not come into the Oireachtas and use privilege and destroy the reputations of people by name. They went to the Minister. There is a precedent for that which was referred to on the radio last night, when Mr. Liam Cosgrave went to the then Taoiseach, Mr. Jack Lynch, when he was given information about the importation of arms. Mr. Justice Morris appeared to me to suggest that the Members should have investigated this themselves. How could they?
