Kildare 29 May Etlt 5 Recent statements In Dell Etreann Dear Ms Murphy I am writing to express my dissatisfaction in the way that you have handled issues that have come to your attention concerning my personal banking relations with IBHE. White I respect your entitlement to freedom of expression. I am very disappointed that. based on information which you trnow to have been stolen you made serioust accusatory statements in the Ball which are materially inaccurate and in spite of acknowledging the terms of an injunction granted by the courts of the State you Knowingly breached that injunction on the grounds that your interpretation of the public interest is to be favoured over the determination of where the balance of the public interest lay by the High Court- Even acknowledged the right to confidentiality at any personal banking relations and claimed an entitlement to disclose certain details of these relations with ?in the public interest'. That claim was tested by the court at injunction stage but rejected- All of this was l-rnowh to you when you stood up in the can yesterday and abused the privilege afforded to you by virtue of your being an elected representative. Such abuse in the circumstances at there being in place not just court proceedings but a High Court Order directly affecting the subject matter of your address, is contrary to the determination of the courts of the Slate and an abuse of can privilege as well as being a breach of Dell Standing speci?cally Standing Order 57(3) which states that "a matter shall not be raised in such an overt manner so that it appears to be an attempt by the cart to encroach on the Functions of the Courts or a Judicial Tribunal." I will be writing separately to the Caarln Comhaine but it is a worrying day for the democratic institutions of this State when a member at the can deliberately undermines an Drder ol' the judiciary of the State. I reserve my right to take such steps to vindicate my rights against you as I may be advised. Yours sincerely DEHIS FLEIEIF: Elhll: HHAHLI CANAL DUBLIN TELEHHUME. +351 I 4.11:: 5543.1.- rII-a: +353 412
