I commend Senator McDowell's comments. It is simply not credible for the Garda Commissioner to remain in situ. I do not think it does the Fine Gael Party any good whatsoever to cling to the position that she can remain in situ, especially given that all the rest of us have acknowledged that this is just not tenable in the current circumstances. I was astonished to hear the leader of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party saying on "Morning Ireland" that he does not accept there has been a conspiracy against Maurice McCabe. I find that absolutely astonishing.

The Taoiseach was not on "Morning Ireland".

I ask the Leader to acknowledge that there was a conspiracy against Maurice McCabe.

The Taoiseach was not on "Morning Ireland".

To be clear, I was referring to the leader of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party, Deputy Heydon.

This matter will be looked into in due course.

I would like to hear what the Leader has to say. If, after all these years, we cannot agree that there was a clear conspiracy against Sergeant Maurice McCabe, how out of touch are we?

We cannot be so definitive in advance of the tribunal of inquiry.

With respect, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, I think we can.

We might all have our own opinions.

My colleague, Deputy Cullinane, is launching a Bill today in an attempt to give trade union officials the right of access to trade union members. In light of the significant issues that have arisen in recent weeks in companies like Tesco, Kerry Foods and Bus Éireann, it is about time for all of us to decide whether we believe in the right of trade unions to represent their members. If we do, can we stand against a Bill that simply provides that trade union officials have the right to access their members in the workplace? Deputy Cullinane's fine Bill has been copied from similar enactments in New Zealand and Australia. If Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil do not support a basic Bill that seeks to give trade union rights to trade union members, we will see where they actually stand on workers' rights. Will our shop steward Leader across the way stand up for workers on this occasion?
