This question concerns the activities of the so-called "Heavy Gang" throughout the 1970s and 1980s. This matter was highlighted recently in the RTÉ series "Crimes & Confessions". I refer to the impact this is having. There is a need for a public inquiry to ensure that what happened can be brought to light and changes implemented to ensure that it never happens again.
