as usual the party closely associated with crime and criminality is against measures aimed at preventing crime and criminality
its almost like sf dont want to face justice for their members crimes
Did you miss the post about Charlie Flanagan? See also Mary Robinson, Amnesty International and ICCL on this court. Shinners the lot of them.
Charlie:
]During a Dáil debate on 3 July 2009, Fine Gael’s then Justice spokesperson Charlie Flanagan criticised the proposed use of the SCC for gangland crime:
While the use of the Special Criminal Court for crime of a subversive nature is a measure that Fine Gael supports, nonetheless we must ensure that solid, empirical evidence makes the case for referring trials involving gangland members to this court.
Removing the jury from a trial involving an indictable offence must be a measure of last resort.
We are told that a non-jury court is preferable because of intimidation of jurors. To the best of my knowledge, such intimidation remains anecdotal. Where is the evidence that intimidation of jurors is allowing criminals to escape justice?
The PIRA are not active anymore. From what I understand, SF would welcome if dissident republicans were put behind bars as they are dissident targets (ie., Michelle O'Neill and Gerry Kelly were warned by the PSNI that their were threats to their lives).
Tomorrow to suit some other story the IRA will be infiltrated, and defeated so badly it surrendered.
Selective use of stats and stories, the defining feature of this thread.
There has been a few pretty high profile British agents to be fair.
Sure they all took the Queens Schilling in the end anyways!
it is claimed that the pira arent active you mean
there are plenty of crimes that they committed in that past that could be prosecuted in any case .
whats good for Justice is bad for sf and its grubby secrets
The old colonial mentality that it's the Queen's money, you ungrateful paddies. 🙄
The PIRA agreed to the Peace Process. If there are members of the PIRA committing crimes now, they are dissident republicans and as you well know, have no time for SF (other than to threaten them).
He heh heh…….in the strange world of some,records are kept and stats are accessible to all.
I must dhrop into Connolly House reception and ask to see all these records.
Should be an interesting experience😶
Any back up for your musings on intimidation Brendi?
Heh heh. who is El Capo di Capi in the Italian Mafia, Francie.
I’ll give him a bell and request stats and back up for their activities in the last fiscal quarter.
Should be a doddle.
🤣
So nothing. Just a feeling in your water. That's ok, Charlie Flanagan seemed to come up short too...you're in good company.
For a lad that’s threadbanned on this thread, you are getting the auld head over the parapet dude.
Just sayin.
Just facts Francie, just facts…………real world stuff…. you know yourself.😎
Why do I go down these cul de sacs of just asking for back up to statements. 3rd time in two days, I have asked posters here for back-up and it has ended up with something like the above. Somebody even said they read their 'facts' in the Irish Times, but when asked to produce that 'fact' in the real world declined and pivoted to something else. Then we had jh79 do the same as you when asked to back up...turns out it is all just a feeling in his water like your own
Like jh79, have at your 'facts' in the 'real world'.
Mary Robinson is associated with crime and criminality??
Very simple Francie, criminals don’t keep records or stats
Its that simple, a chara.
You need to wise up and accept that.
Ha ha. 'It's my version of events and don't you have the cheek to question me;, where have we heard that arrogance lately? hmmmm
Penny dropped yet Francie😆
You're real name is Leo? 😁
Can you back up that?
Otherwise withdraw it 😂
How do you back up a question?
I would have thought the security forces would know everything since the PIRA was infiltrated so successfully by MI5 & MI6!
I always had you down as a fine gael fella, surprised to see you refer to them as criminals to be honest.
Heh heh…… How long did it take you to produce that magnificent repartee C ?
If that wasn't fresh in your mind, perhaps a "current affairs" forum isn't the place you should be hanging out in Brendan Bendar. I actually couldn't believe my eyes you were naive enough to post something like that, that was going to be all so easy to throw back in your face.
And that one was merely one off the top of my head, there's many tales of FG led govts, dodgy deals and a lack of minutes and records being kept. Isn't the siteserv enquiry due to come to a conclusion soon? Your dancing when you should be thinking son. Too easy.
It’s a statement question Francie……..tut tut.
Referring to your input C……. wake up…….😁
His/her input is factual (unless Charlie didn't say what he did) 'Facts' Brendi which you are lacking...so far.
Jaysus Francie you are really annoying.
His input is the text in black.
Stop trying to deflect, a chara.
