I ask that the Attorney General attend the Seanad, under Standing Order 56, so that we can get her views on the abuse of privilege and information on the part of the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter. The Garda Commissioner also has questions to answer in respect of the information supplied, who gave him that information and the chain of supply of information. The behaviour of the Minister is a worrying development. People who have made accusations against the Garda, including public representatives who have done so in the public interest, are being targeted by the Garda and the Minister. In doing this, the Minister is sending out a signal to everybody, saying, "I can do this to you also". That is basically what he is doing.
