Order of Business.
The ministerial disappearances Bill.
Priority Questions - Paramilitary Activities.
Asked the minister: his views on the extent of criminal activity being engaged in by paramilitaries or former paramilitaries; his further views of the numbers involved; the activity involved and the measures proposed by ...
I thank the Minister for telling me about the IMC report but as he is probably aware, we have all read it. I remind him of my question. I asked for his views of the extent of criminal activity engaged...
The Minister mentioned to me an estimate of 1,500 people who had been active in the IRA. Does he believe they are all now on the straight and narrow? Some of the proceeds of crime seem to have been “d...
I also asked about Sinn Féin’s funding.
Priority Questions - Garda Equipment.
Asked the minister: the reason the Garda Síochána must continue to operate a radio communications system which is insecure and totally out of date; his views on whether this continues to place the Garda Síochána at a con...
Does the Minister accept the present walkie-talkie system is over 20 years old? Does he accept the pilot scheme to which he referred was completed over three years ago? Does he accept the Garda Commis...

If a miserable €4 million can produce such a result, why is there not a contingency fund of €10 million or €15 million each year for the Commissioner to carry out three or four operations similar to O...
Is it just a public relations exercise by the Minister?
The Minister should put that to music. I have been looking for them for the past three years.
Other Questions - Crime Levels.
I am concerned about legislation on the criminalisation of gang membership. The Minister indicated early in September that he would introduce amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill 2004 to deal with ...
I am interested in the criminalisation of gangs and amendments proposed to relevant legislation.
Written Answers - Departmental Expenditure.
Asked the minister: the reason the sum of €500,000 was spent on an information technology system for human resource management in the Prison Service, the use of which has been discontinued; his views on whether this repr...
Written Answers - Garda Deployment.
Asked the minister: his views on whether there are inadequate resources available to the Garda Síochána in terms of personnel and equipment from the point of view of enforcement of road traffic laws and speeding; his fur...
