John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I share the view that we need legislation very quickly. However, as a very inadequate student in the Kings Inns for the past two years, I would not dare to go into the detail of the legal course of action undertaken. It has been suggested that the DPP put certain cases forward ahead of others. I understand the DPP would have had no choice but to take these cases first because an order of habeas corpus would be issued on the basis of conviction under faulty legislation. It is inadequate for people to elaborate beyond their capability on legal matters.
