It would be prudent for all of us to study the full terms of the judgment before we draw any conclusions. From newspaper reports that I have seen, there was certainly a recognition by the courts that the Oireachtas has the scope to deal with some of the defects that were found in this case in the context of the arrangements under which we operate here. Fine Gael will participate fully with other parties to secure arrangements that will allow us to do our work in a way that is fair to all citizens and that respects the courts. It would be premature for any spokesman to be drawing conclusions as to the sort of changes that might take place or regarding what are the implications of this judgment. We need to take time for reflection.
