Ms Justice Mary Laffoy:

I am speaking as a citizen when I say that I think the members of the assembly were informed and got the information. I do not doubt that their decisions were based on the information they received. When we were dealing with these topics, we provided very good information to the members. We gave them opportunities to deliberate and to ask questions. I think their decisions were informed and based on proper deliberation and discussion - I would put it as simply as that. I think the information they got was the important thing.
