Jobstown perjury claims

Summary

Murphy and Ruth Coppinger press the Taoiseach specifically on alleged garda perjury and a supposed stitch-up. The Taoiseach refuses to re-run the case, repeats that the treatment of others involved was wrong, and the row continues across the floor.

Was the perjury in court by multiple gardaí acceptable?

The way Deputy Burton and Karen O'Connell were treated was very wrong.

Do not try to re-run the case. Was perjury acceptable?

I think they were terrorised. One can see the fear in their faces when one looks at the coverage.

No, Taoiseach. We cannot re-run it.

Is the Taoiseach not worried about the stitch-up by the gardaí?
