Question 206: To ask the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if he will support a matter (details supplied) [43684/10]

The matters raised by the Deputy were the subject of a High Court civil action.

The Deputy will appreciate that the Courts are, subject only to the Constitution and the law, independent in the exercise of their judicial functions and, therefore, it is not open to me as Minister to comment or intervene in any way in relation to how a particular case was conducted or the outcome of any such proceedings. These are matters entirely for the presiding Judge and it would be inappropriate for me to comment or intervene in such matters.
