Counsel for the defence questioned garda swift (a prosecution witness) about items found at the shrine erected by the ploughsares - photos of dead and injured iraqi children and videos about the effects of the sanctions. The jury was sent out while legal arguments about admitting these into evidence took place. The argument centres around the criminal damage act and the issue of 'honestly held belief' .
