Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have named names and repeat that the Taoiseach should sack the named individual. Of course, we would know nothing about this scandal were it not for the bravery of Vicky Phelan which the Taoiseach has acknowledged. She is terminally ill and was coerced and harassed through the courts by the State in her fight to get to the truth.

The legal strategy pursued by the State and stood over by the Government was shameful. The State bullied her and then tried to silence her. This cannot happen again to any woman or any family that takes the State to task for its failures in this scandalous episode.
