Given how Ireland can often take this infuriating "classified in the national interest" stance (where that translates to "this would seriusly embarrass or harm the reputation of a state body so we'll keep it secret") on issues around justice in particular, I've been worried that they'd find some excuse to keep those details private and not inform anyone outside the court. I know nothing of how the SCC operates in general - for example, the trials aren't actually public, correct? As in you or I couldn't just wander in and sit at the back listening to a case like we could in other courts, and I imagine journalists aren't allowed inside either?

I seriously, seriously hope we get to find out what all the bizarre drama has been about over Det. Fox's death and the trial's repeated delays, and that it doesn't just go one way or another with the details of what the hell actually happened remaining classified or secret.

Will I Am Not wrote: » You probably got out just in time. I’m not blaming all of Balbriggan's problems on “de blacks”, skin colour is completely irrelevant. There are some lovely and amazing people that have come here from Africa to make a better life for themselves but there’s also a large number of your stereotypical freeloaders that see Ireland as a soft touch. Places like Balbriggan are where they inevitably end up. Separating the two at direct provision is the problem.

We need to massively shorten the time it takes to process asylum claims because dumping people in direct provision centers for years on end is only going to create more Balbriggans. This means more civil servants working in INIS
