Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words in support of Sinn Féin's motion. We thank Sinn Féin for highlighting this issue again this evening, as it has been numerous times. I sympathise and empathise with the extended O'Farrell family. We wish them well in the future. We are very sorry about what has happened. The system here has let all of them down and has let the...

Danny Healy-Rae: You are out of order to interrupt me. I know a lot about Garda vetting. If I want to get a bus driver to drive school children, he has to be Garda vetted for that job. If Teddy McCarthy in Sneem wants him to drive his bus in the same space of time, he has to be Garda vetted again to get a job with Teddy McCarthy. If he wants to do charity work with children, he has to be Garda vetted...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am not taking dictation from you. I represent the people of Kerry and Ireland and they are asking why people coming in here are not being vetted. You are being unfair to our people because there are accidents and all kinds of assaults and there is no accountability. They are not being checked out coming in here. That is not fair. Do not shake your head. They do not even have a...

Michael Healy-Rae: I warmly welcome the family of the late Shane O'Farrell. I am glad they are here but I am very sorry that they are here. They should not have to be here tonight. They should not have had to be here today in the AV room, where they gave an excellent presentation. I was sorry I had to leave but I read the documents I received. It reminded me of years ago when we were here; it is like we...

Catherine Connolly: It is difficult to leave emotion out of it but we have an obligation to not be emotional and to deal with the facts. Shane O'Farrell died on 2 August 13 years ago. The family have been fighting since then for justice. That burden should not be on the family's shoulders. They should have been able to grieve the loss of their beautiful son, who had graduated with a first in his master's....

Mattie McGrath: I thank Sinn Féin for tabling this motion. I welcome Lucia, her husband, their daughter, family and others. I commend her from the bottom of my heart on her tenacity, energy, efficiency and sterling, detailed forensic work in this case. It must be unbearable for her to have lost her wonderful son. He was killed, or murdered as I said before, so callously. She has had to do this work...

Mattie McGrath: Those are only the ones that I am dealing with myself. Other Deputies have mentioned many others that are going on. I salute all the Deputies who have spoken here tonight. It behoves us as elected Members of this Dáil to live up to our Constitution and the freedoms that were fought for by those gallant men, or else we should pack up and go home, and let some dictator take it over....
