On such a serious issue the public needs to know that capable and honest public representatives are doing their best to remedy the situation. After yesterday's pantomime I doubt if the public has confidence in the competence of the Government.

Over the past few days I cannot help but remember all of the really good members of An Garda Síochána throughout this country, those who have been forced to retire early or resign due to overt and concerted bullying or those who have been repeatedly overlooked for promotion just because they stood up for what is right within the force. It is important that we remember all of those people at this time.

I ask the Leader if he has full confidence in the Government following the farce that took place in the Dáil Chamber yesterday. I look forward to his constructive comments as always.
