Does the cost of the tribunal justify this apparently irreversible fact.... ? :mad:

Biggins wrote: » Well if you bothered to do your research, the limitation of what could be investigated were set down and structured so that the tribunal could only go where FF wanted them to go (reluctantly even then...). even then when things got to close to home, they drew the investigations even in closer and tighten their limit areas of investigation. ...But hey, I bothered my arse to not just read the official state documents but other materials, reports, historical records and books written that, if one bothered also their arse, are easily available at your nearest Easons alone! ...Too much like hard work?

UNLESS we concentrate now on the methods that were used and ALLOWED to be used, how they were limited and by whom and why - this same schite will happen again and again... ...And guess what, the corrupt will get away with their mis-deeds. For there is no real deterrent that they can see so far to persuade them not to do what they do... All this has happened before - so will it happen again. So say we all!
Desmond wrote: The Tribunal because of the length of time it has taken, and the cost of its investigations, has now a vested interest in achieving a 'result' At over 1500 pages the Moriarty Report is the most lengthy and expensive comic ever produced. The legislation has now been changed to provide for a better means of enquiry into issues of public concern and this is not before time. For my part I have issued High Court proceedings against the Tribunal because of the manner in which it has handled issues directly affecting me, albeit that I was not under investigation by the Tribunal. I make these observations so lessons may be learnt for the future as to how tribunals are organised and made accountable.
