Sir, – I note that our Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald is bringing in new legislation on electronic monitoring (News, December 6th). As she is currently trying to find an extra €50 million to pay for the new Garda pay deal, there's a very slim chance of this initiative being funded.
So why is she proposing it now?
Is this a way of Ms Fitzgerald making noise and entering the [leadership] contest with Leo Varadkar and Simon Coveney?
Watch out Enda, they’re behind you!
