    You can add prostitution to the list, Ennis got a mention on tonight's Prime Time - Special Report into prostitution in Ireland.

    No, doubt The Clare People will have sold a few extra copies today with its main story. Tabloid in size and fast becoming tabloid in nature.

    I only saw the report that was carried in the Indo. I feel sorry for the family of the individual involved but I have no sympathy for him. You can't expect the papers to ignore this story, he has been found guilty of blackmailing someone.

    They did indeed, but the CP made it the main story on the front page today. Was that the most newsworthy thing to happen in Clare all week?

    Considering it's the Clare People I wouldn't be so sure. I was in court a few months back and checked the following weeks CP just to see what cases made it in. It was incredible, they went with two dismissed charges instead of a number of cases where suspended sentences were handed down. They don't exactly have their priorities with regards reporting serious crime in very good order.

    Who knows why? If either my partner or myself stood by while the other of us practically slaughtered our dog, you can be sure neither of us would get the dog back into our care and we'd probably be banned from keeping an animal again. My dog is afforded more protection by Frankie Coote and the ISPCA than a child of a certain section of society is by the social services and courts from the adults around them who are not fit to take of themselves, let alone a child.

    And as for Judge Carroll Moran? Well, look no further than his comments during the sentencing in the two cases, the case of the tortured child and that involving the blackmail of one adult by another.

    Judge Moran said that the case was "fairly shocking" and the injuries were suffered by "a defenceless baby".

    Judge Carroll Moran said: "Blackmail is a insidious crime. It is mean and it can have appalling consequences for the victim."     http://www.independent.ie/national-news/courts/builder-who-blackmailed-married-woman-over-sex-tape-dodges-jail-3011280.html

    My guess would be that in the minds of most people, 'fairly shocking' might be words applicable in the blackmail case and 'insidious' and 'appalling' would be words, along with others, we'd use to describe the crime against the ten month old baby.

    I agree, how the authorities think its in the best interest of the child for it to stay with its mother after this is beyond me.

    Let's hope the DPP is successful in their appeal. This prick Judge Carrol Moran should be struck off.

    I made that mistake too. Halfway down the thread they started talking about some lad who beat up a baby.
