Unfortunately, the Senator is unable to accept facts. He can only shout down speakers when they are outlining facts. That is always the way. Fine Gael and the Labour Party are aware of the extraordinary value of the Garda and that is why the Government has secured additional funding. As I stated on the Order of Business only a few weeks ago, Fianna Fáil had provided ¤90 million less for the force annually in its national recovery plan for 2012, 2013 and 2014. Its members should be ashamed of themselves. I thought they would come into the House and explain this. They are unable to answer questions on this.
