A Dublin woman accused of assisting her friend's suicide told gardai 'I'm glad she did what she felt she had to do. I'm glad she didn't tell me.'
Gail O'Rorke from Kilclare Gardens, Tallaght denies helping to end the life of 51 year old multiple sclerosis sufferer Bernadette Forde in June, 2011.
Gail O'Rorke told gardai of her last meeting with Bernadette Forde on the day before her friend took a lethal dose of drugs ordered online from Mexico
She said her friend told her how much she loved her and that she left with a gut feeling something was going to happen which she couldn't stop.
The 43 year old, who was a carer to Bernadette, said her friend had become fearful of getting people into trouble after gardai stopped them travelling to the assisted suicide clinic Dignitas two months earlier.
Gail O'Rorke recalled making a money transfer to Mexico on her friend's behalf but said she didn't ask what it was for.
She said a week later Bernadette told her she'd ordered stuff and had used her to make a payment
She told gardai 'if I'd known, I wouldn't have done it'.
