If that action had not been taken, can one imagine the media crush outside the court? That misfortunate person has lost her privacy anyway for a long time to come. We should have a debate in this House. I was glad to hear the Garda say it may not be the last time this will happen. This was an exceptional case, but the Garda also said that it was possible in future that the same would apply. We should help the Garda and the judicial system by showing we, as legislators, want to debate this issue and see if it can be expanded further. The Garda was right to come out and defend its decision in the manner in which it did.
