Lenihan calls for 'period of calm' after judge's remarks
Minister for Justice Brian Lenihan has called for a "period of calm" following the controversy ignited by the remarks made by one of Ireland's most senior judges this week.
In a lecture on Wednesday night, Mr Justice Paul Carney made criticisms widely believed to be in reference to Majella Holohan for comments she made during the sentencing hearing for the man who killed her 11-year-old son Robert.
