The legal advice that we have is that he cannot be named until his appeal is concluded, even though it's a Hungarian law, not an Irish law.
Other papers have taken a different view, as we see this morning.
And that is, so it's a difficult issue.
It's a particularly horrifying case.
And anybody reading the very large piece from Maeve Sheen and Ali Bracken in The Sunday Independent, it is quite horrifying, the level of detail and how he sought to cover up his crime, the way in which he cleaned the apartment very carefully, the way in which he bought a suitcase, the way in which he transported the body to Lake Ballaton.
and the way in which he had searched online for whether corpses could be eaten by boar.
This is pretty dark stuff.
Yes, it is.
And it has to be borne in mind that we have got a reputation, whether we like it or not, for amongst our fellow EU states and elsewhere, for lecturing an awful lot of people on ethical issues when it comes to diplomacy.
Occupied territories being an example.
Being that, and Gaza being another one.
Now, I'm not making a comment about the merits of either of those arguments, but there's a lot of countries that have heard volleys coming from Dublin, and they are now taking a certain degree of schadenfreude in our difficulties on our nation.
And there's no doubt that there's alumina coming from the plant in Limerick that is going to the Russian war machine that has been used for weaponry.
Also, there's no doubt that a lot of that product is going elsewhere, and cars for BMW and stuff like that.
So all of that is going to have to be teased out.
And the government rightly says that it hasn't deposed sanctions against Al-Hanish on 20 occasions since the Ukraine war began.
But equally, those sanctions
haven't worked.
Well, I mean, there is a shortage of Illumina globally.
So you'd have to assume that there would be some negative impacts.
