Following the recent case of intimidation in Listowel courthouse we, the following citizens of Ireland, request an urgent change in Irish law to prevent supporters of  convicted criminals act in an intimidating, hostile manner whilst victim impact statements are being  read out. Out of respect for both the victim and the court, we demand that there be silence and decorum at this important time.

Absolute disgrace what happened in that courtroom. Victims shouldnt have to deal with that kind of carry on when they are trying to talk. Fix the laws now.

Total madness. How is this allowed to happen in a court?? The courts are meant to be safe places for victims not a circus for thugs.
