============================================================

Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

That is the law of our country. Apart from the racist sentiments, I would have thought that the intelligence services of Ireland would benefit greatly from someone from a bigger intelligence agency coming in and bringing all of that experience with him or her. I do not think that, just because someone is a foreigner, he or she will give away all of our secrets. It is contrary to the law of the land.
