Erm. Right so.

Peter Mcverrys “trust” and his CEO on 100k a year wouldn’t exist without tax payers money.

Most of their income comes from fundraising

Its not Peter Mcverry's Trust. Its the Peter McVerry Trust. Its a registered chsrity, propetly run. Look at their website.

Yhe CEO is a professional doing a very goid job st at least half his msrket worth.

Then you pay a total of 4 quid towards McVerry's charities per YEAR.

I want to totally sincerely offer to pay you the princely sum of 4 euro, payable by bank transfer or by cheque, if you will only get down off that bloody pedestal.

That's all I ask. I can see that it's an important 4 quid but please stop acting like you're paying for the charity.

(Edit, it had to be downgraded. I thought you said you pay 41k tax but you pay half that (approx). So it's only about 4 quid, not 8 quid)

I have heard from a friend working in Dublin 10 area that there are currently generations of drug addicts and n’er do wells who have brought up a current batch of children to be truly antisocial even violent and physically injurious towards adults going about their daily work. Somebody I know lives there too, settled during a long spell of general decency in the area, but it’s not nice for her either as she couldn’t really afford to buy elsewhere. Local teachers can’t really attempt to teach anything as there is zero parental support with very isolated exceptions.

I used to work in Dublin 8/12, where there was a great cross section of classes, religions and races. You had children from “the flats”, and likes of Brian Dobson & family, all living in very close proximity, with the children and parents mixing on many levels, and some very decent schools, with the result that I saw many of the most disadvantaged succeed very well. There is a great cohort of ambitious people, parents eager for their children to achieve, parents taking further education themselves in the many outlets nearby, and a good strong body of”Old Dubliners” in the mix, including the Protestant working class who might have worked in Guinness”. One of the overall Young Scientist winners is in the area.

I'm not sure what your point is Cat.

You point out that you worked in Dublin 8/12 and there was a great cross section and yet seem to be trying to say there's no hope for Dublin 10.

Apologies if I'm picking you up wrong, I genuinely don't know what your point is?

And I bet McVerry is in the casinos, going mad on his share of yer man's 4 euro.

Just been reading about the Government spending 3 billion on broadband infrastructure that a lot of rural dwellers don't want, and which the state will never own. And people are getting upset about 4 quid.

And if every tax payer stopped paying the 4 euro where would his trust be?

Absolutely ridiculous point.

I pay 4 euro so I can’t have an opinion.

That's not the point and you know it. I'm not devaluing the importance of any tax contribution.

The point is that you were the one who raised the issue that you pay a certain amount of tax, which you mentioned. I'm saying it amounts to 4 euro *per year*. Most people wouldn't notice that if they dropped it in the car in one afternoon.

Yet people feel as if McVerry is somehow fleecing them. That's simply not the case.

“The defence also presented a letter from Fr Peter McVerry saying that Reilly was stable and doing well in his drug rehabilitation”



Peter Mcverry in my eyes is a hypocrite who loves the limelight.

Can’t stand the man and his self righteous attitude.

That to me is a vitriolic personal attack.

But we all pay small amounts of our tax into numerous pots to keep society going.

Just because it’s 4 euro has no relevance.

Does that mean we can’t have an opinion on anything where our money goes?

I've just explained the reasoning. Of course everyone is entitled to comment, and I have no right to tell you you don't.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it's only costing you loose change. You were the one who brought your tax into it as a justification for your anger.

But most things only cost people loose change yet we all have a say and a right to express opinions on them.

Nobody is saying you can't express an opinion. Even people who don't work for a living anymore, like pensioners, are entitled to express an opinion.

The point is you used your tax precisely as the justification for anger. But that can't be it, because only about 1 cent per day, 4 quid a year, goes to McVerry from you.

Going to stop emphasising that now because the point is clearly made and I doubt you're going to accept it.

Yeah I’m not let’s move on.

And by the way a poster asked me what I do for the homeless and I said I donate through taxes.

I never brought up my tax been spent in anger before that poster asked the question.

the number of suspicious killings in Ireland are about half the rate it was in the mid-00s, when organised crime was at its peak. We're back now to 1980s levels.

Are we really ?

Would these same stats be down to the AGS?
The same AGS that had millions of breath tests and underestimated the homicide rate by 18% between 2003 and 2016 or underestimated the manslaughter rate by 44% in that same time period ?

We may be better than the period 2000 to 2015 when it was found that the gun homicide rate in the Irish Republic was more than double that of Northern Ireland or that you were 6 times more likely to be killed in Ireland than in England/Wales.

According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), ‘Weapons and Explosives’ offences rose by more than 10% in Ireland in just one year between 2017 and 2018 – to a total of 2,248 incidents.

The CSO recorded a total of 77 homicides in Ireland for 2018 but worryingly it also said that the quality of the statistics given to them by the Department of Justice ‘do not meet the standard required of official statistics published by the CSO’.

I don't remember 77 murders in Ireland in say 1985.

In fact there were 25 murders and 12 manslaughters.

BTW in 1971 there were 4 murders and 6 manslaughters.

Between 1972 and 1991 the stats show an average homicide rate of 9.9 per million per year.

In the 70s one year throws the stats out because in one day in 1974 33 people were killed by bombs on the streets of Dublin and Monaghan.

In 2012 the stats show an average homicide rate of 12 per million per year.

I don't have more recent stats.

So are we fook back at 1980s rate for violent crime in this country.

We may just be better as you yourself admit than we were when things were very bad in say 2007 when it was 18 per million per year.

And as for petty crime speak to any farmer to find out how bad rural crime has gotten.
The only reason people report things to the Guards now is for insurance purposes because as sure as hell they aint going to catch anyone half the time :mad:

Your perceived increase in murders and violent crime generally appears to be a falsehood, a bias. Ireland was a far more violent place 100+ years ago, at a time when we were sentencing people to hard labour and deporting our own citizens and when there were very few social supports.

Ehh wippee there boy.
You decide to first jump to a point where supposedly our murder rate is low and then to a point when Britain was in charge and we deported people. :rolleyes:

These things are all related. Education, opportunity and a social safety-net has provided an alternative to crime and to ignorant behaviour for millions of us. And I really do mean 'us'.

My family even when they were all leaving school at 13/14 and most having to take an emigrant boat still weren't resorting to crime.

So far this thread hasn’t wanted to look at white collar crime. They want to talk about scumbags, drug addicts and petty criminals. There’s no interest in the other kind of crime.

As with other threads on this topic, the ones who want harshness only want it for other people. They don’t want harshness for crimes they might commit like under declaring income or speeding.

But they were much harder on crime in Victorian times and there was more crime back then.

We’re we much harder on crime in the 1980s when murder was at a low point than Victorian times when crime was rife?

Lol. The thread is about Peter McVerry offering a reference on behalf of a criminal to the effect that he is now engaging in drug rehab. But all you want to talk about is harsher sentences which isn’t the topic of the thread but that doesn’t stop you offering your opinion on it.
