We live high up in a tall building and the sensation was unlike anything I’d experienced.

Since then, the volume of requests for presidential pardons has increased and the nature of the pardons sought has changed. The independent Irish State has no responsibility or liability for how justice was administered here before independence. I believe it would be a distortion of Irish history for the independent Irish State to assume responsibility for these convictions by granting pardons.
