Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I take on board Deputy Boyd Barrett's comments regarding the visit and I undertake to follow up on that. This is a case of contempt and I have as much sympathy as anyone for that woman, who had been in prison for several weeks before the matter came before this House. While I have every sympathy for her, it is not possible for the ESB to purge that contempt. This is now an issue between Teresa Treacy and the High Court. If the Deputy thinks I am telling him lies, he should check it out.
