Murphy went to jail for ten years for the attempted murder and repeated rape of a Carlow business woman. Marisa wondered how she has been feeling over the last number of weeks with the news of Murphy's release and the constant media coverage.

"I wondered what that Carlow businesswoman who nearly perished at his hands in the Wicklow Mountains, must have been feeling," said Marisa. "How can she even bear to go into a shop, see his face on the front of every paper and relive that horrific night of terror?"

In closing, Marisa questioned the sense in releasing Murphy from jail at all. She questioned what the police and authorities suppose is going to happen next and suggests that the Department for Justice should have tried to keep Murphy in prison.

"If Larry Murphy decides to go to England, as he is probably intending on doing, it just means that we have conveniently exported our most unwanted citizen," she said. "But if he strikes again, just remember this, Dermot Ahern, it's because our pathetic laws allowed it. It's all very well saying you can do nothing about this. Shame on you."
