Labhrás Ó Murchú (Fianna Fail)

I agree with Senator Norris. It was very important that the Garda defended its action in assisting a witness in a recent court case to uphold her privacy. Some sections of the media got particularly animated about that as if in some way a right was being taken from them. The position is clear. The witness was a co-operative witness and at the same time that witness had been paraded through sections of the media for a long time before the trial. The witness was entitled to privacy and to her rights.
