The Deputy will be aware that the persons to whom he refers were sentenced in the Circuit Court for offences including obstruction and assault of Gardaí. The Deputy will appreciate that judges are independent in the exercise of their functions, subject only to the Constitution and the law. In the circumstances, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the matter.
