Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

These men were given, respectively, sentences of 25 and 18 years on the basis of no evidence being produced of any role attributed directly to them in the appalling murder of Stephen Carroll. The key point here is that many jurisdictions have proven there can be "No justice, no peace", to use the slogan of the ANC. It is the same here. This is an injustice that needs to be examined. It was a political decision because it was the first killing of a PSNI officer and any old republican would do. Sadly, the evidence and process do not back up the conviction. Anybody who believes in the rule of law has to oppose this judgment and call for an immediate review of the case.
