GDrew Harris faced tough questioning from TDs regarding the shooting incident involving Evan Fitzgerald, who was reportedly in possession of firearms and explosives. Questions arose about the nature of the weapons' delivery, with suggestions of a possible 'controlled delivery' by undercover officers. Fitzgerald had previously been arrested for firearm possession and was on bail at the time of the attack. Former Labour leader Alan Kelly expressed serious concerns about the Garda's handling of the case, regarding undercover interactions and the release on bail that preceded Fitzgerald's tragic death.
Controlled delivery is very sensitive police methodology. We use it for both organised crime and for our terrorist defence.
An Garda Síochána agreed to his bail, and subsequently he killed himself. I have serious concern in relation to all of that.
Did undercover Gardai engage face-to-face with this young man prior to this delivery of guns and ammunition?
Was this a controlled delivery of guns and ammunition?
