Europe Day: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2025-05-07
============================================================

John Lahart (FF), Dublin South-West

A statement was made regarding Garda strip-searching. That was denied by gardaí, and just because someone can come back in and keep repeating it does not make it so. I am a person with a record of calling things out here, just as the Leas Cheann-Comhairle did - I took my lead from him - but just repeating any accusation does not make it so, and it went unchallenged.
