All right. He is not robbing it; he is taking it legally. The Government said he should not do it, so I hope it will bring in legislation to ensure this activity is regarded as robbing.

I praise TG4 for an excellent documentary it showed last night on the life of Tom Barry, an extraordinary gentlemen whose father was in the RIC. He was in the British Army himself and was serving in Iraq when he heard about the 1916 Rising. He was involved in the War of Independence and had such regard for Michael Collins that Mr. Collins's family asked him to give the speech at the unveiling of a monument to Mr. Collins. He spoke about the tragedy of the Civil War. TG4's excellent documentary was a great exposéof information regarding the famous ambush at Kilmichael. Mr. Peter Hart, the author of what could only be described as a tissue of lies and a book of fraud, should apologise to the families of those involved in the Kilmichael ambush for making up what has now been revealed to have been an absolute falsehood. He did an extreme disservice to Tom Barry and the boys of Kilmichael. The record was put straight last night, thanks to TG4.
