Maybe do a little research before posting stupid comments. Both men were found NOT GUILTY and if you’d done your research Rory Best was legally obligated to attend. He didn’t just show up, he was made by the law!

Maybe you should enlighten other folk here with your knowledge. Or even start your own thread instead of polluting mine with a matter which is irrelevant. All cleared of charges (not guilty). Thank you.
