I recommend reading coverage of independent TD Catherine Connolly's speech to the Dáil yesterday, in which she criticised the State and its institutions, including the judiciary, which “actively participated in a narrative that sought to defame” the Stardust families:
"The establishment has learned absolutely nothing. The powerful protect the powerful and what happened here was absolutely class distinction. If the Government does not face that and begin to learn from it then we have learned nothing.”
