Uphold rule of law for protection of all – Murphy
The Law Society of Ireland has expressed concern at the incidence of vigilantism in County Roscommon.
Director General of the Law Society Ken Murphy (pictured) said: “I would echo the comments made by An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan in condemning the violent actions of vigilantes, which have led to injuries, animal deaths and very serious property damage.”
Difficult
“While this is, no doubt, a hugely difficult and emotionally-charged situation, no one should take the law into their own hands.
“The rule of law exists to protect everyone, and any departure from it threatens everyone.”
