blanch152 wrote: » Whatever information Harris has on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings was held in his official capacity in the PSNI. He is bound for confidentiality reasons not to release that information. If he was to release that information, he would not be suitable for the job as Garda Commissioner because he could not be relied on to mantain confidentiality. However, if the Gardai obtain the same information through their own resources, then he would be free to act on it.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Quite simple and obvious, if information comes forward that he knows to be false, he will have to act on it. It's a dozzie of staggering proportions if you are correct. Can you back up what you said?

McMurphy wrote: » You just outlined it in your post I quoted, how could a Garda commissioner have any part in any potential inquiry into the bombing of Dublin, Monaghan or in Cavan if he or she had information that he or she couldn't divulge because they are (your words) "bound by confidentiality reasons". How could Harris be expected to partake with any shred of integrity of impartiality? As per Francie if information that DH knew to be untrue was presented, Drew would have to sit on his own hands and say nothing because he was obliged to?
blanch152 wrote: » He is running the force, he doesn't have to be involved in any potential inquiry into the bombings. He also doesn't need to know, or won't know about what's going on in that case, unless there are significant developments. This is the bit you don't get. Those bombings are important but they are what percentage of the job of Garda Commissioner? Say a memo comes across his desk once in five years on the job, takes an hour to read it, another hour to write a response. That is generous, given that there is little new investigations happening on it or likely to happen. Casefile is open, along with thousands of others. He works about 50 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, so 2,500 hours a year, 12,500 hours across five years. So, it equates to 0.016% of the job. Now, what are the chances that the memo that crosses his desk contains a piece of information that he knows is false. Maybe one in twenty let's say? That is generous, but let's go with it. So that means that there is a 0.0008% of a conflict of interest. It is not a problem, except in the mind of conspiracy theorists. Edit: And all of that is based on the premise that the PSNI do know exactly what happened, a premise that is not proven.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Dublin/Monaghan and Belturbet is just one case. There are a myriad of other ones. He has involved himself in one high profile case personally where the same situation could arise. The Quinn case.
blanch152 wrote: » An interesting point you make. You are now suggesting that people with knowledge of information in relation to the Quinn case should not be eligible for senior positions in Ireland. Pretty much rules out the entire Sinn Fein parliamentary party, doesn't it? Oh, with the possible exceptions of Violet and Reada.

blanch152 wrote: » Those are very big ifs and they are based on the biggest if of all - that he has knowledge of who the PSNI think committed the crime. He may know what's in the files, he may not. The decision not to release the files may not have required him to familiarise himself with the content, or he may have just approved a recommendation from someone who did the investigation of the content. For example:Memo to Harris: These files contain information that may cause controversy if released as the information in them is not soundly based and likely to be inaccurate. We recommend that you refuse release. Harris: Agreed. Bang goes the conspiracy theory. However, every Garda Commissioner, every politician, every CEO, everyone in any senior position has similar potential conflicts of interest. It is only current substantive ones that have the potential to impede the normal work that prevent an appointment. The Dublin bombings are not current crimes, they have no impact on the current day-to-day running of the force, very easy to shunt them off to a deputy with zero impact on the job. So, while there are potential conflicts of interest, they are not serious enough or substantive enough to prevent his appointment. It is all a ruse from the Shinners to hide their distaste at a Protestant unionist holding a prominent role in Ireland.

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe appointed a senior KBC banker to run a new State lender after the Central Bank (CBI) had already made damning findings against the bank. Dara Deering, who was executive director of retail banking and a member of the board at KBC, was named CEO at Home Building Finance Ireland (HBFI) in May 2019. That was less than 18 months after the bank admitted its failure to follow regulations and protect customers who had wrongly lost their tracker mortgages.
