    Now they are not against it so much, it would be up for review so what's that now about standards?




    Why should some crimes be put through a different judicial process to others?

    Let's be fair the likes of Dennis O Brien are alot closer to FG than the likes o slab Murphy to SF.

    Really? Denis O'Brien is not a great individual (in any estimation other than his assets). But does he engage in murder, smuggling, tax evasion, armed violence? No. I also think that he is fairly apolitical, or that his political allegiances are temporary and expedient. Although he bought the Sindo, which was for a long time a bit of a Fine Gael mouthpiece, from what I can see he has been actively hostile to the traditional reporters of that paper.

    Some actual facts would be appreciated if you have them available. Or at least allude to them if you are afraid that boards would get sued by DOB

    I love that sidestep. The answer is that it is the same process, there is just no jury to avoid the risk of them being unduly influenced or threatened. Same due process applies.

    Up to a number of weeks ago they were dead agin it and all for abolition. Clearly that was a pressure point in the media so now it is "up for review". Just a party adjusting its election focus, like all others.

    You are the fact meister. What is Slab Murphy's involvement with the SF party?

    ...and thats the difference. The state doesn't fancy equality and thus throws out a 3 judge court for whatever suits it.

    Nope it doesn't, very specific cases where a risk might exist. These days that also extends to our own Narcos.

    You're spouting shite now, the legislation for the SCC describes very specific offences and situations where the SCC should be used. Not "whatever suits" the state.

    Because it suits the state. You'll pardon me if I don't take that as an inviolable process we should slavishly follow.

    So what. It's the state creating a double standard of justice.

    Not as as much of a SF issue as a few weeks ago. So much for solid positions. Nobody really cares what Amnesty thinks anymore. Any port in a storm for them these days.

    Not in SF. However FG who are residing over the national broadband plan and it seems their mate DOB has won alot of the subcontracting work through Actavo (Siteserv). The same crowd doing the water meters.he certainly has a way of winning government work!

    You're only after saying it was for whenever it suited the state, now it's "so what?". Can you make your point coherently? It's clearly not for whenever the state wants, it's for terrorism and organised crime cases where the jury is at risk of intimidation.

    That arrogance again.

    But only where it suits you to believe that. Would you have the same stance if one of the Kinahan mob was before it, I wonder?

    But the jury can be at risk in any trial.

    At higher risk.

    Now can you address the "whenever the state wants" fallacy?

    Call it what you will. They are an organisation who once did good work. Nowadays they're in the advocacy game and just fire our "worthy" reports on social issues of their choosing.

    Let them in at your (our) peril.

    what are you basing that on, considering they've never been in power?

    Dont even mention the north - if either FF or FG could survive a day with the DUP they'd be doing well.

    You're basing your assumption on nothing more than your own opinion. We all have one of those already.
