Frances Fitzgerald (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We just heard the result of this case and we respect the court decision. Justice takes its course in any trial. The evidence is considered. This was a jury trial and the jury made its decision. Justice takes its course. We can discuss lots of things in this House but we certainly do not re-run the evidence that is given in a trial and I do not intend to do that now.

Deputy Barry spoke about a Government agenda on the issue but that is simply untrue. The courts do their work and we do our work in this House.
