    The most frequently used word in the debate on the Bill is intimidation. The doublespeak of my colleague from County Waterford was referred to earlier. He seeks further resources for the Garda Síochána. Adequate resources are provided to the Garda Síochána if we did not have gangs and organised crime. Senator Hayden referred to the puppeteers behind these organised gangs. Who is pulling the strings?

    There has been no reference to intimidation of the Garda Síochána. Recently, Sinn Féin held its national conference, its Ard-Fheis, in Killarney and a member of the Garda Síochána told me that the people organising the conference tried to dictate what they wanted from the Garda organisation. They did not want any member of the Garda Síochána in plain clothes; they wanted them all in uniform. They wanted no security within the complex and wanted to provide their own security. A member of the Garda Síochána died in tragic circumstances in County Kerry recently. A member of Sinn Féin said to a friend of mine in the Garda Síochána that they would have done a much cleaner job.

    Recent comments of his in the Seanad...

    Blatant lies like this are an abuse of his position as well as being petulant and childish...

    I'd agree with David Cullinane;
    Senator Sheahan cannot name the individual. He is a coward. There is no such individual.


    This type of crap goes on all the time in both houses, does anyone find it depressing that legislators act so childishly?

    This case is particularly bad in that the allegation is simply made up, mudslinging in the hope that the Sindo rag will parrot it

    Pathetic stuff

    Perhaps the fact that this got no replies demonstrates how the Seanad is irrelevant to many people.

    I have a Kildare St alert set for Tom Shehan, lets just say I enjoy his childlike wonder.

    The opening post does not make much sense. Can you expand on it a little and let us know the context? The quotes don't make any sense without the background.

    It was a debate about the offenses against the state act iirc.

    I fail to see any context in which blatant lies like that would be ok tbh... He just came out with it out of the blue
