I am sure all colleagues will join me, as they did yesterday, in condemning the dreadful attack on the prison officers by the escaped prisoner, Mr. Brockwell, but I am sure also that everyone will wish to join me in commending the PSNI officers and gardaí who were involved in the police operation that resulted in his recapture, as we heard last night. I am disappointed at Senator Byrne's tone. This is far too serious an issue on which to seek to score political points. It is a very serious matter.
