Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I want to ask the Taoiseach about the retired County Kerry judge, James O'Connor, about whom I have previously raised shocking cases of abuse of power and an example of institutional sexism. When I last raised the cases with the Taoiseach, he said, "I am very concerned about it and about what I have read today in the articles the Deputy mentioned. I will give further consideration to this and revert to the Deputy." What conclusion has the Taoiseach come to in terms of avoiding this happening in the future?
