I welcome the witnesses. In June, the University of Limerick conferred an honorary doctorate on Vicky Phelan for her efforts. Professor Fitzgerald described her exceptional commitment to calling out wrongdoing, her "selfless commitment to public service", and how through "her courage, commitment and exceptional communication skills, she is highlighting a major issue". He stated "She is an inspiration to our students, our staff and our community, she has brought great honour to the university, and for this we have awarded Vicky Phelan an Honorary Doctor of Letters." The whole country would support Professor Fitzgerald's actions with regard to Vicky Phelan. Is there not irony and contradiction between that and his treatment of persons A, B, C, D, E, F and G?
