While I am very much in accord with the sentiments the witnesses have expressed, the bottom line, as far as I am concerned, is the issue of inconsistency. A young garda is dead, a woman is fighting for her life in Beaumont Hospital and a number of children are suffering as a result of the actions of a guy who was out in bail. I am sorry, but I do not get it.
