Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

So it's at arm's length from the party, but party members would have to be briefed, but you and @Augme have been going on about GDPR preventing people from being told stuff.

There are so many twists and turns in both your stories that you have become a parody of a parody.

I don't think you understand the nature of a kangaroo court. It has nothing to do with whether a person has a lawyer or a barrister present.

It is about the creation of a by definition corrupt legal system outside of the normal courts system to adjudicate on a person's fate. Having a lawyer or a barrister present makes it even more corrupt as it brings more organisation to the kangaroo court than say a simple lynching or PIRA kneecapping.

I know people are enjoying hauling FrancieBrady over the coals but there is a bigger story here which is a TD seat is returning to either FG or FF who consider themselves the natural parties of Government.

No, tightening the legislation would not work, as you clearly don't understand the nature of the problem.

For example, because of Ogra Sinn Fein, Sinn Fein occupies the exact same position as BHF. So would any restaurant that employs anybody under 18 have to vet every single employee. The definitions are there because of the risk assessment that balances the individual's rights versus the children's rights versus the bureaucratic nightmare.

If we required the vetting of every person that might come into contact with children in an organisation that works in some way with children (the only definition that could work in this case), the task of vetting would require thousands of people and the return on the risk would be negligible.

Ultimately, any legal framework only works if the organisations and the people in those organisations follow the system. As Sinn Fein had a system that didn't set off warning bells when some people gave paedophiles a reference (and yes, those people are particularly vile individuals) then no legal framework can stop that happening.

MLMD has already admitted to wrongdoing by Sinn Fein in this regard, so I don't know why you are beating this drum except to divert and obfuscate.

Was in town at some meetings this afternoon, picked up some stuff, made a few calls on the way home. Quite a range of outlandish stories being told about this case. However, some common nuggets and common threads to what is being said.

Understand that the allegations against Brian Stanley are serious but not criminal, made by a female. Serious enough to warrant gross misconduct but below the criminal threshold. Understand also that he made a criminal counter allegation against the original complainant, and there is some substance to that. Have heard the nature of that allegation from one source, but not confident enough to state it here.

Aspects of what both sides are saying are therefore true. However, the crux of the matter is why was the criminal allegation left hanging there by Sinn Fein from 11 September to 13 October?
