John Whelan (Labour) | Oireachtas source

As I do not usually go over time, perhaps the Cathaoirleach will bear with me. The State should find a mechanism to recognise the role played by gardaí, prison officers and soldiers at a time when the law and institutions of the State, including the Oireachtas, were being subverted and placed under severe threat by subversive elements. This is the least we can do.
