Tánaiste said on Thursday night it was hard to understand why evidence against Bailey was not put before a juryfor over 20 years has described as “extraordinary” and “astonishing” a decision by the Tánaiste Micheál Martin to say that his client should have been tried for the murder of French woman
At the book launch Mr Martin said the murder of Ms Toscan du Plantier was “deeply shocking” and “the failure to deliver justice, to hold her murderer to account is and should always be a deep shame for us”.Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s son says he is ‘free again here in Ireland’ after death of Ian Bailey
Mr Martin also said: “No one expects that any system of justice can operate without errors – or that the pursuit of justice can never lead to another injustice ... However, when you look at the details of this case and the scale of the evidence, it is very, very hard to understand why this evidence was not put before a jury.”
Mr Buttimer said that the Tánaiste seemed to fully take on board the contents of the book by Mr Molony which he claims contains nothing new in the way of hard evidence.
