Did that say shared child porn with his daughter???

A BUSINESSMAN who ran a Longford-based company selling Mass cards has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being unanimously convicted of two counts of possessing child pornography.

Judge Michael White told the accused, Thomas McNally (51), of Foynes Court, Longford, who had advanced colon cancer and faces a serious risk of the cancer recurring, he would have imposed a three-year sentence if not for McNally’s medical condition and long-term prognosis.

Sligo Circuit Court heard 676 images of child pornography, which had been downloaded on to A4 sheets, were discovered by investigating gardaí at two locations – 350 of them in a field outside Longford where a safe stolen from the home of the accused had been dumped, and the remainder in a large shopping bag in the boot of a car owned by the defendant’s daughter and parked in the driveway of his home.

Last April, a jury sitting at Longford Circuit Court unanimously found McNally guilty on two charges of unlawfully possessing child pornography under the 1998 Child Trafficking and Pornography Act, on February 6th and 7th, 2006.

At yesterday’s sentencing hearing in Sligo, the judge told the accused when adults used children for their sexual gratification by viewing images on a computer or via downloaded images, it meant children had been degraded and their innocence destroyed.

The court had heard evidence there was handwriting on all of the images, and that some featured the handwriting of two individuals.

The judge said he had no doubt McNally had shared the images with his daughter and this would, even in the case of an adult child, be considered a breach of trust in all civilised society.

Insp Daniel Sweeney told the hearing some of the A4 sheets had notes saying “To Dad, thanks for the pics”. Analysis by an expert had established beyond doubt that it was the defendant’s handwriting on some sheets.

During the trial it emerged the accused had reported that passports belonging to himself and his daughter had been mislaid, but he had not reported the theft of his safe to gardaí even though it contained over €21,000 in cash, as well as some jewellery. The discovery of the safe and the hundreds of images strewn around the field by the landowner’s son had sparked the investigation.

McNally told gardaí that on the night of the theft his daughter, Tanya Mulryan, revealed there had been material of a “sexual nature” stolen and he did not report the matter because he did not want to embarrass her.

Senior counsel Pádraig Dwyer, for McNally, asked the court to consider the “social opprobrium” experienced by the accused since his conviction. He had received a lot of media attention and had to remove himself from the daily running of the Mass card operation his father had established

Eh if this is right why da fook is she not up on charges too??

I sense a logistical problem here.

Why is he up on charges, but the daughter is scot free? Insufficient weight of evidence?

Only on the topic of paedophilia, is such a response considered acceptable. It's the last bastion of the torch & pitchfork.

Strange one, the daughter is clearly in the wrong. Dunno what the mitigating circumstances are apart from being female and so presumed to be not a danger to children (!).

(who the heck prints out illegal porn?)

No, calling for people to be brutally tortured doesn't put you on the moral high ground, no matter what the crime. If you want to be morally consistent, if you want a civil society, then act as such.

Sorry my USB drive acts up sometimes & it's a daily battle trying to keep my PC alive, so evidence the evidence can easily be lost or destroyed,
So I decided to print them out for you, blown up, on A4 sheets of paper.
Saves you looking for them and that.
No, no, it was no trouble at all!

Looks like she is being charged but opted for a separate trial.

Trial for child porn possession begins

A Circuit Court trial of a Longford businessman for possession of child pornography begins today after a successful application by a co-defendant for a separate trial, reports Thomas Lyons.

Thomas McNally (51) and his daughter Tanya Mulryan (28), Foynes Court, Longford, were before Judge Michael White facing two charges under section 6 (1) of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act, 1998.

These are that both knowingly had in their possession images of child pornography at Foynes Court, Longford, on February 6th and 7th, 2006.

Before the jury was empanelled yesterday, Paul Burns SC, for Ms Mulryan, requested a separation of the cases or an adjournment. Mr Justice White acceded to the request for separate trials, observing that the DPP was perfectly entitled to bring a joint indictment.

The judge put the case against Ms Mulryan back for mention on June 28th, but she may be called as a witness for the defence.

Pádraig Dwyer SC, for Mr McNally, said his client was ready for his trial, which is expected to last for six days.

Good find. Odd case. Taken 5 years to go to trial? It just makes me wonder how do these things start? I mean what was the conversation in that household? "Will we rent a DVD tonight or look at child porn together?" Odd, odd case.

Very lenient the longford court system are.15 mths for looking at pictures of young kids.Who'd like a neighbor like that. 18 mths in other cases for not been able to make repayments on mortgages or assault. Doesnt add up.

I'm sure he will just be moved to a mass card business somewhere else in the country and no more will be said about it.

In his judgment, McMenamin said the Mass cards market was ‘‘significant in size’’, and that MCC’s unaudited accounts showed sales of about €250,000.

McNally said he distributed up to 120,000 Mass cards annually, and that he had an arrangement with an African bishop to sell the cards in return for payments to priests in Tanzania.

Who would have thought that the international black-market for fraudulent mass cards was so lucrative!
