Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

If the Deputy, as he always does in this House, is after the usual predictable, easy headline, I cannot sit here while he maligns the members of the current Judiciary, speaks in a manner that makes his accusations readily identifiable with an individual member of the Judiciary, and uses this House to damage the reputation of any member of the Judiciary who cannot respond. The Deputy knows exactly what he is doing. No doubt this is the subject matter of the article he is writing for the back of the Sunday Independent. I urge, Sir, that the rules of the House be applied. The last comment the Deputy made not only is outrageous in its implication but traduces the reputation of a current sitting member of the High Court, who is readily identifiable from the comment. The Chair has certain duties to put a stop to that.
