He says he wrote the letter seeking clemency because the drug dealer's wife had committed suicide and the drug dealer was looking after the children on his own.
Surely the drug dealer's solicitor would have conveyed this information to the Judge so that doesn't make sense. The only thing that makes sense is that he thought because of his position that his view was more important and would carry more weight than that of the drug dealer's solicitor, ergo he was using his position to influence or attempt to influence the Judge.
If Micheal Martin had any power as leader of FF he would force him to resign as shadow spokesman on Justice, but he doesn't so he won't. If Niall Collins had any sense of duty/decorum he would resign, but he doesn't so he won't.
