Eoghan Harris (Independent)

I hate the cliche that I did not heckle you, but heckle away. The point is that the Senator is going to a press conference after the Order of Business at which he will give substance to the claim of Pat O'Donnell, who claims his boat, the Iona Isle, was sank off Erris Head by a group of masked men at 1.40 a.m. who stayed three hours in the area and then departed, with six miles of visibility. When the gardaí came out in their boat and the Royal National Lifeboat came out they could not see anybody of any sort and conveniently, one of Mr. O'Donnell's relatives was standing by when the boat sank to take him off at the same time as Shell protestors were leaving in kayaks to attack the Shell installation. If the Senator believes that, he would believe anything.
