Attorney General attendance request

Summary

Senator Daly supports bringing the Attorney General before the Seanad over the Garda recording controversy, arguing that she should answer questions about her knowledge and role.

I second Senator Darragh O'Brien's amendment to the Order of Business to bring the Attorney General before the House.

Senator Denis O'Donovan has seconded it.

We would like as much support as possible.

I support my colleague on the issue because the Attorney General has many more questions to answer than the former Garda Commissioner. She has been sitting at the Cabinet table since 11 November. She has been sitting next to the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Taoiseach who was disturbed by what he had learned last Sunday night week and decided to ask for the Commissioner's head-----

The Senator can raise these issues during the debate.

-----yet she appears to have no questions to answer and the former Garda Commissioner has paid for it with his job.

This is madness. The Senator does not understand the system at all.
