As usual, Senator Marc MacSharry is needlessly trying to heighten matters. I do not know whether it was a phantom or semi-secret piece of paper he had, but it is certainly not an official document or an adopted report.

I bet it cost the HSE a few pounds.

I suggest the Senator exercise more caution and less speed in bringing forward items, the workings of his fertile mind.

The Senator approved-----

I concur with Senator Ivana Bacik's comments on the Guerin report. I too would welcome a debate on the matter. I am fearful, given that we have had so many Donegals in other parts of the country. It is sad that proper lessons were not learned from the Morris tribunal report of 2005. There is no doubt whatsoever, and it is clear from the report in regard to whistleblowers, that Sergeant McCabe is a very fine public servant. I am delighted that he has been restored to his proper position within the force and given access to the PULSE system. We should not say any more, but we welcome the report. At this moment, I understand a press conference is in progress at which the Taoiseach and Minister for Justice and Equality are speaking. I look forward to the Leader's arranging a debate in early course.
