The solicitor of the four people accused of interrogating Mairia Cahill over her rape claims says he won't allow them to meet Enda Kenny.

Peter Madden says a meeting would undermine the review currently being carried out by the prosecution service in the North.

Enda Kenny said on Wednesday he was prepared to meet the four, after a request by Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams.

Madden argues that recent events mean “the rule of law has been subverted by the ongoing trial by the media and others against my clients.” Madden feels that his clients’ acquittals in a court “have been either ignored or devalued.

In the letter, the solicitor reiterates that the four were acquitted of all charges - and debating the issue in the Dail and in Stormont is undermining the court's rulings.

The letter argues that the Taoiseach has already passed judgment on the four individuals in question, and Madden is:

“seriously concerned that in the course of the Parliamentary debates some will seek to hide behind ‘Parliamentary Privilege’ and conduct their own ‘kangaroo court’.

Madden argues that his clients: “have had any chance of fairness jeopardised by the continuing blatant disregard for the Rule of Law.

“An Taoiseach concluded his comments in Dáil Éireann by saying that he would meet “the four people…who are named” and that he “would not stand in judgement over them.”

“He has already passed judgement on them.

“Dáil Éireann is not a Court of Law, neither is the media.

“I am seriously concerned that in the course of the Parliamentary debates some will seek to hide behind ‘Parliamentary Privilege’ and conduct their own ‘kangaroo court’.

“I am advising my clients not to meet with An Taoiseach, at this stage, while the reviews and processes detailed above are ongoing.”
