Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I had the chance to meet Aimee Foley myself yesterday very briefly when she was in the House. I really admire her courage in going public in the way that she did and seeking a tougher sentence. I am glad that the DPP did appeal that sentence and that a higher sentence was secured. I would like to see that happen a little more often than it does.
I understand and see the case for legal representation. I am not 100% up to date on what the plans are and where that stands but I will check with the Minister for Justice and come back to the Deputy directly.
