Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

We will have another go at asking the Taoiseach this question. The emergency powers conferred on gardaí last year are due to expire on 9 June but it is rumoured that the Government wants to extend them even further. If that is so, will the Taoiseach insist that, at the very least, we will have full scrutiny of such an advancement and will he also create an all-party committee and have a full Dáil debate on this matter before the emergency powers are extended?
