Interview with An Taoiseach on Limerick's 95 Live on whether the release of the killers of Det Garda Jerry McCabe was still on the negotiating table.
Taoiseach: "...We were prepared as part of a comprehensive agreement last year, and the two attempts we made to try to bring all of the matters to conclusion, including this one, but I've made it clear that the question of the early release of the killers of Detective Garda McCabe is no longer on the table.
"I've said that I don't see it coming back on the table, that position has now been endorsed overwhelmingly by the Dáil in its recent debates so I think the situation, as far as I'm concerned, is now closed on this. "I attempted to try to bring it to a conclusion, I attempted to try to resolve it as part of a comprehensive deal but you know the situation has changed utterly now and whatever negotiations we have in the next round and hopefully we do have, this issue won't be part of those discussions."
So in effect there's no chance of it happening?
Taoiseach: "Not on my watch."
