    Whereas the Sergeant in question did breach the law as regards the inquiry he had no way of knowing that it would be released in its entirety.

    His breach was a "noble act" he did not do it for gain, in fact he had a lot to loose as has been illustrated.

    The Bermingham report into the Rossiters has not been released in full. Why?
    If we had someone to give the true facts perhaps we would all have the true facts of that case.
    The Sergeant would not have recourse through the Courts. What court would he bring it to?

    I am afraid he is suffering now for having a conscience.

    Sargent Ciaran Sheehan in Clare is suffering and has been dismissed because he, as alleged blew the whistle on Senior Gardai who would not allow him to go to England to bring Brendan O'Donnell home in custody.

    The refusal of senior Gardai to allow the repatriation in custody of Sheehan have to take the blame for the massacre that happened three weeks later with a mother her son and a priest brutally murdered.

    Sergeant Sheehan was disciplined on a somewhat trivial matter but the Garda Complaints board hammered him and directed his dismissal.

    The Garda who stopped John O'Donoghue for speeding and refused to say he was not in the car was disciplined on trumped up charges and the authorities put Frank Ward solicitor to the Government sitting on what was supposed to be an independent board.

    I could go on and on. Something has to be done and we can only blame ourselves for what is happening in and to our Country

    Haughey's escape from justice had nothing to with his health. It was caused by mary harney's call for his jailing and Haughey applied to have his trial stayed on the basis of pre-trial publicity. You do not have to be a cynic to wonder about the motives of Ms Harney and/or Judge Haugh.
    You are quite right. It was pre trial publicity!!

    In any event, I don't see what that has to do with anything.

    He has accepted he committed an offense. What his motivations were are subject to speculation.

    Speculation, piled upon speculation piled upon innuendo. Not a shred of fact to any of that.

    The Birmingham report could not be published in full as it is defamatory. You cannot accuse someone of committing a criminal offence outside of a courtroom.

    You are something else. I really feel that there is no point in responding to any of your posts.

    Seriously, post a link to some proper source material. You cannot just expect someone to believe such allegations just because you post them here? I am not being smart with you, really. Just post a link to some proper source material if you wish to substantiate such things. I am perfectly willing to be reasonable.

    Cops tell Paul Williams a fairytale to put on the front page of his rag? No problem.

    Cop tells truth about dodgy police practice? Cop goes to jail.

    This is a banana republic.

    An excellent assessment of the situation.
    Laughable if it was not so serious

    A disgraceful way to treat them, no wonder the whistleblowers Act in relation to Gardai is not being taken up by junior ranks.
    Piece here from that link where Dean Lyon's mother muses on how her son "knew" so much about the murders

    "I hope someone will be able to explain to me how Dean learned all he knew about the murders before he confessed to them. Somebody had to have told him that information before he confessed."
    Mother of Dean Lyons is 'sick' over report findings - National News, Frontpage - Independent.ie

    Now compare this with what The judges of the Criminal Court of Appeal said about the knowledge of the ten year old child in the Miscarriage of justice case re false allegations of sexual assault against the galwayman

    Ms Hardester's allegation of sexual assault was made in detailed terms, and was conspicuous for its graphic and coherent uses of medical and anatomical terms, the court said.
    Very similar don't you think now how is that?
