I am glad that my social media strategies work. It is rather remarkable. A six year old boy is lucky to be alive after being shot by absolute thugs in Dublin during the week. How are we going to prosecute people who carry out these crimes? What is the way to prosecute them if they are likely to shoot a child or intimidate juries? Our friends on the Opposition bench offer some comfort to these people. This is nonsense. I will not get political about it but it is hardly surprising to find an attitude like that in a party whose leader can be legitimately questioned about a murder but who cannot be questioned by anyone in his own party about it.
