I agree that we should support the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission in the proper functioning of its duties and should deplore any bugging if it took place. It is not up with the Arms Trial and the bugging of the telephones of Geraldine Kennedy and Bruce Arnold, which were proven facts. Who was reputed to have provided the tape recorder for that event? We should also protect people - and hope the Garda Síochána is protected - from unwarranted aspersions and this "dodgy" stuff. There is nothing dodgy at this moment about the Garda Síochána.
