Correction to Limerick incident statement

Summary

The Minister corrects his earlier claim linking the chief suspect in Limerick property damage to the Green Party and apologises.

Willie O'Dea Minister for Defence (Mr. O’Dea) Fianna Fáil

Before I take the first question, I wish to clarify that on the last day Defence questions were taken in the Dáil, I referred to a certain incident involving damage to property in Limerick and stated that the chief suspect was a member of the Green Party. I have checked that matter and find there is no connection between that person and the Green Party. I apologise for any embarrassment caused.
