Debate on paramilitary activity reports

Summary

Micheál Martin seeks a debate on Garda, PSNI and MI5 reports concerning paramilitary activity, amid an exchange with Dessie Ellis and procedural intervention from the Chair.

Of course. This relates to the order of the House. Will the Taoiseach allow time for a debate on the report on paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland? I accept the report of the PSNI and MI5. I am not clear whether Sinn Féin has accepted it or whether there is complete denial.

Comment on this

Does the Deputy accept everything MI5 says? That is his problem.

Comment on this

The Deputy's organisation would know much more about MI5 than I would. Many of his party members had a lot of collusion with them. I will take none of that nonsense.

Nearly three minutes are gone and it is very unfair to other Deputies who want to ask a question on the Order of Business.
