Opposition attacks Govt over failure to review Garda Bill
The opposition has attacked the Government for a second consecutive day over the Garda Bill currently making its way through the Oireachtas.
Speaking in the Dáil this morning, Labour Party leader Pat Rabbitte accused the Government of ignoring a recommendation from the Morris Tribunal that the legislation be reviewed.
The tribunal made the recommendation as part of its reports into Garda corruption in Co Donegal, but the Government has declined to establish a review and is hoping to pass the Bill before the Dáil's summer recess.
Responding to Mr Rabbitte, the Tánaiste, Mary Harney, said: "The entire Government do take very seriously the findings of the Morris Report and the Minister for Justice is already on record as saying he intends to bring forward amendments to the legislation on foot of the recommendations."
