Shatter shies away from jewellery on ‘strange anatomical parts’

It’s one investigation the justice minister doesn’t want to undertake.

“People wear jewellery on strange anatomical parts nowadays and some of those I will not investigate in this House,” Alan Shatter told the Seanad yesterday.

The unusual exchange came after he was called upon to allow those applying for debt relief under a new Government scheme to retain one item of jewellery of “ceremonial” significance.
