History will show us that the Sinn Féin Party does not have any regard for due process and does not believe in natural justice. As Senators Coffey and Ned O'Sullivan rightly said, there are members of Sinn Féin who are resigning, citing bullying, all over the country, including in my own county of Cork.

I urge them to cast their minds back to the remarks of our former colleague, Senator Máiría Cahill, about the way she was treated. If they want to have a game of political opportunism, in which they have been engaging for the past month, I am very happy to do that. I will not even get into the party's new found respect for whistleblowers and members of An Garda Síochána. If they want to engage in that pursuit, we can do that.
