Diarmuid Wilson (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I join colleagues in calling for a balanced approach in regard to the proposed banking inquiry. Any such inquiry should include Members from both sides of this House. There is no Member of either House of the Oireachtas who has not commented on what happened with the banks. That reality must not prevent anybody from sitting on the proposed inquiry.

As other speakers said, it is difficult to accept that it is almost 12 months since the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, who was a native of County Cavan. It is important that we remember him at his time, as well as his wife, two small children, parents and wider family. I take this opportunity to pay tribute to every member of the Garda Síochána, all of whom risk their lives on a daily basis to protect the people of this State.
