Every avenue has been exhausted. In fairness, the support they have received, including from local councillors, has been overwhelming. This is the crux of the matter. Support is coming from the bottom up, from the general public. There have been public displays of anger involving marches on the street. Support has also come from local councillors, local businesses and even local gardaí.
That is why I am asking that they be allowed to tell their stories. We will know what is happening when we hear their story. They are entitled to that fair hearing.
