Gangland murder - Government indifference a disgrace
The Taoiseach and Justice Minister seemed to be blaming the judiciary for too lenient sentences, but their remedy so far has been little more than empty rhetoric.
Justice Minister Michael McDowell flippantly dismissed the criticism of the Opposition yesterday by suggesting that Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny was “at the angry pills again”. But the Minister is underestimating the public mood if he thinks the whole thing can be dismissed as a laughing matter.
