Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This murder is a stain on Irish society. That someone who loved west Cork was murdered in such a brutal manner was greeted by shock and horror by the people of the country. It is not like a roller coaster in the sense that I believe the Garda takes the matter very seriously. We know that his case has attracted enormous attention. I do not get involved in prosecutions with the criminal justice system or with sending files to the DPP. That is a matter for the Garda. It is then a matter for the DPP to make an assessment of whatever it is sent to him or her by An Garda Síochána. I have no doubt that as new leads emerge, if the prospect or capacity for prosecution exists, the Garda will do everything it possibly can to bring the person responsible for the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier to justice.
