Judges have to leave their children to go work and have to that explain to their children. Once a week, I explain to my children that mammy has to go to work in order that they do not feel abandoned. That is very real. To have that experience must have been absolutely traumatic for Ms Sweeney but, most importantly, for her children too. That should not be allowed to happen.
