Senator Rónán Mullen is making a mountain out of a molehill. The photograph in question is a single photograph and the Garda Commissioner has expressed an opinion on it already; to try to generate further publicity out of it is disingenuous.

While we welcome Senator Thomas Byrne's contribution and his welcome for Deputy Willie Penrose's Bill, which we hope will come on to the Statute Book as soon as possible, it is naked political opportunism to seek to divide the House on a Bill on which we all agree and is cynicism at its worst.
