The Kerry Babies Case

The couple in limbo from today's Irish Daily Star

What an insensitive headline!!!

Well they can spend some quality time with their child they refused to acknowledge!!

Limbo would be too bloody good for that pair.

That solicitor is just looking for celebrity status at this stage ...going for the "shock" using the term limbo..... completely bad taste!

Their solicitor is a bollox who can fúck right off tbh.

Is the term "hits on her" actually used in the book? Nobody in 1980s Ireland spoke like that.

Edit: ok I see now it was a readers review, thought it was the official blurb.

What I find interesting is that he says they haven't got any DNA results.

If I recall it was all over the media that both arrested were a match to Baby John.

So what's the truth?

Have there been no official results or have the official results been "leaked" to the media while the two arrested have not yet been officially notified of the results ?

The biological parents should not be judged.  

Many comments so far state that the biological parents should have "owned up" when they knew that the Hayes family were being wrongly accused and they “chose to sit back and put the Hayes family through torture.

It was the Garda Siochana who “sat back” and “chose” to continue to blame the Hayes family. The Gardai put the Hayes family through torture, and it was not the biological parents who put the Hayes through torture.

 It is no wonder that the biological parents could never make themselves known as they feared they would have been subjected to the torture the Hayes family endured. They must have and continue to be going through mental torture.

Also, where did the Manure bag disappear that Baby John was found in?  Who had possession of the manure bag and how many people had access to it? This was crucial DNA evidence. Were they interviewed?  Where is the photographic evidence of the alleged knife wounds? missing like the manure bag.

Have any surviving members of the Garda Siochana who were involved in this case been interviewed? If so, what is their statement and why was it not made public knowledge? If there are any surviving members, they should be put on the pedestal and held accountable for their actions/inactions.

Had any of the Garda Siochana who has recently passed away been interviewed and if so, what was their statement?

 Prior to the biological parents being identified, the Gardai pleaded with whoever are the parents, to acknowledge the same and they will be treated with the strictest of confidence and will be treated with respect and dignity. Who “leaked” to the media when they came in their droves to the Garda station when the biological parents were arrested? 

 It was disgraceful to exhume Baby John. He was never left to Rest in Peace. Irrespective of whether it was or wasn’t established who the biological parents were, the outcome will be the same. As far as I am concerned, the Gardai were only worried about PROMOTION, PROMOTION, PROMOTION. They want to be acknowledged as the Heroes who solved the “Kerry baby case”.  It was the Garda Siochana who botched it up in the first instance.

How many Baby Johns were never acknowledged in the mother and baby homes? These babies deserve justice, and nobody has been made accountable.

My heart goes out to the Hayes family, the Locke family, the biological parents, and all of their extended families.

You continue to divert from the Garda Siochana by blaming O'Connell solicitor for leaking their arrests to the media. The solicitor comes across as arrogant and likes to be in the limelight, however, there is absolutely no way did he leak to the media. This can be easily proven if he did. You appear to have in depth knowledge of O'Connell solicitor leaking information to the media. You should present yourself to the Garda station and make a statement regarding the same and I assume you have made a complaint to the LSRA about the solicitor leaking information to the media.

What a load of complete and utter claptrap.

Glad to know you have the expertise by coming to the conclusion that what I said is crap. What I said is fact.

Could the baby have been taken away by a 3rd party who said they would take care of things, adoption etc and never mention it again. This person has passed away since.

If this is the case I cannot understand why the parents haven't come forward publicly looking for more information themselves.

You obviously have an Agenda. You are very defensive. "Not as sharp" and late at night", talk about being small-minded. "A screenshot". "The internet forgets nothing", Thanks for enlightening me. I would never have known but for you telling me that the internet forgets nothing and a big thank you for that, pity you, honestly. The truth hurts, doesn't it? Of course, it would take a genius to work out who you are. It is very clear from your comments that you are a genius. Most definitely, you are a genius and of course very sharp. Taking screenshots, how amusing. You must have a lot of time on your hands. On a final note, just for clarity, I was not registered under a different name recently. I just want to put your mind at ease. Good luck to you in your venture.

That is how the Hayes family was blamed from day 1, by people assuming and making false presumptions like you have made in your latter comment. I honestly would not waste my valuable time responding to any of your messages. I just hope that you are never on the Jury.
