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

The Deputy said that the word on the street, at least in his constituency, is a person can get away with murder.

I presume the Deputy is oblivious to the number of individuals An Garda Síochána has arrested in circumstances where homicides are alleged. He has not noticed the number of trials that have taken place. He has not noticed the number of convictions that have been obtained for murder or manslaughter.
