Clare Daly (Dublin North, Socialist Party) | Oireachtas source

It is entirely appropriate to raise the medical issues because UN doctors and others have said this women is even too ill to attend the court hearing, yet Owen Paterson revoked her licence under a clause that provides this facility where it is necessary for the protection of the public. This is an extremely ill woman who represents no danger to the public whatsoever and the longer she is incarcerated in solitary confinement and denied the support she needs, the worse her condition will get. I am fearful that the next time we discuss this issue in the House, it may be too late. I urge the Minister to intervene.
