No, that case is finished. It is a matter of public record and it has been talked about in all media outlets. The point is that this happened in Waterford. We need to know how many telephone conversations there were, why they were recorded, what information was recorded and how was it used, because it has profound implications for the judicial system in this State. It is very serious and has implications not just for this Minister for Justice and Equality, but for previous Governments as well. I believe the current Minister should resign. I do not think his position is credible. Ordinary citizens are scandalised that the Minister still seems to be hanging in there. If we are to have accountability and a new way of doing business in this country, which this Government promised us, only one thing can happen. In the interests of accountability, transparency and democracy, the Minister, Deputy Shatter, should resign.
