Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the comments that have been made in respect of the fracas, or riot, that took place last week. I commend Senator Cummins for his courage and his convictions. The Senator is prepared to stand up and be counted. The Garda Síochána should be extremely proud to have a man of his calibre in the House.

Criminal charges are being prepared in respect of what happened last week. I accept that Fintan O'Toole is a democrat and did not intentionally seek to incite a riot.
