John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

Again it appears that a foreign nation has used Irish passports to pass off citizens as respectable and law-abiding persons. The State wishes to have good relations with Israel and Russia, but we could not allow a situation to continue where Irish passports, which are universally accepted, would be abused in this manner. It is something of a caricature to have the spy Murphy using an Irish passport with a Russian accent. This is beyond the Pale.
