    Had one of the women in work saying to us yesterday that he had been in the town that I work in the day before and that he was living nearby :rolleyes:

    Told her that it was bullshít but she was certain about it.... I really hope not! Bad enough him being in the same country, let alone the same area

    I saw him in B&Q buying a shovel, rope, cable ties and a 4' bird house that was reduced from 150e to 60e (say what you want about the man but he knows a bargain when he sees one!)

    Great write-up comment: http://www.herald.ie/opinion/columnists/sinead-ryan/sinead-ryan-fasttrack-evil-rapist-murphys-passport-to-get-him-out-of-here-2661185.html

    Sinead Ryan: Fast-track evil rapist Murphy's passport to get him out of here

    Thats actually a ****ing terrible article. "We dont care where this rapist and potential serial killer lives, as long as its not in my back yard". So its cool if he rapes the **** out of a few spaniards is it? How about trying to secure some evidence to link him to the ****ing murders and get him put away forever instead of trying to fast track him a passport so he can go on a european rape tour.

    Wasn't there a case recently of a Polish guy found guilty of committing rape (Cork I think) and after the trial details were released of a conviction for the same offence in Poland? I can only imagine that the victim and her family are furious with the Polish and Irish authorities for allowing him to roam freely.

    I would feel slightly ashamed if Larry Murphy was to go on and offend again on foreign soil. You can only hope that the Gardai here are liaising with Spanish authorities to try and prevent that. To my mind, I would prefer if he was to remain in Ireland until, at the very least, he had undergone a period of rehabilitation.

    Seriously, he should be denied a passport and made wear one of those gps ankle bracelets so he can be tracked wherever he goes. Larrys in the wicklow mountains? Send out the ****ing riot squad, and give him a good kicking when you fimd him chaps

    That woman's article is kind of ridiculous. All this stuff like, 'I don't care if he's in Spain or France so long as it's Somewhere Else' and 'he turned up in the south of Spain - where so many Irish families are' and 'I'd rather he was Spain's problem than ours'.

    He kinda is our problem though. He's a very serious criminal and should still be in jail. If he rapes a Spanish woman or a French woman, that is kind of the Irish judicial system's problem too for releasing him so early. The disregard for people of other nationalities who are at risk because of the lax nature of justice in this country is a bit ridiculous.

    Can you imagine the equally shrill and morally indignant article she'd write if it emerged there was an African serial rapist who'd been convicted of some appalling crimes who was now living an anonymous life over here. Or worse still what she'd say if she read an article in a African newspaper by some bird who was delighted he was out of her country and was Ireland's problem now?

    Who decides that these people are qualifid to write newspaper articles FFS?

    The Spanish police papered the areas where Murphy was staying, warning the residents that he was in the area. They are keeping an eye on him as best they can but because of his 'rights' (yes, its sickening), they can only do so much.

    I'd be ashamed too if he did similar (or worse) over there.
    One small grace though is that if he did, the Spanish police might come down harder on him unlike the courts that consistently are a joke here.

    Call me crazy, but hasn't he served the time that our ****ty old judiciary system sentenced him to? Who exactly is demanding that the Gardai watch him night and day other than the Helen Lovejoy type Herald readers?

    The sad thing is that people assume that the Herald are doing them a service by perpetuating their fears. Someone called this a 'great write-up'.. and all over Ireland two-bit 'journalists' came in their trousers.

    These muppets aren't dealing in rationale or reasoned anxiety.. they deal in over-exaggerated bullshit. If Murphy was to rape again, they'd see it as overtime.

    I called it a "great write-up" in that it could be open to the holes in her thoughts and commented on - NOT that I agree with a lot of her ideas I want to make that clear.

    He has served his time in this country. Sadly I feel his sentence was too short but thats just an opinion.
    Who is demanding that he be watched? I would say (besides the rags) at least the residents of the areas he's been housed in.

    As for the papers, aye, I agree. Part of me thinks the rags are hoping he man will do something stupid again so they can sell more inked paper.

    Sinead Ryan: Fast-track evil rapist Murphy's passport to get him out of here

    One of the worst articles I've ever encountered.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 458 ✭✭Boxoffrogs


    Love the couple of lines where she says
    Every day there were internet boards and gossip about where Murphy was staying and it had got to the stage where people were afraid to go out. Well, I'm sick of that and don't want it to start up again.

    this is preceded and followed by her doing precisely that.

    I just don't think that monitoring and reporting on his every move is the best course of action. Why not release prisoners with strict stipulations placed on them? Have him sign in to a Garda station every 12 hours, places curfews on him, or electronically tag him.

    The sensationalism shown by some media publications will only force him underground and place a burden on our already stretched policing force.

    After he was released, an angry mob congregated outside of a property where they wrongly believed him to be staying in. Mass hysteria is a powerful thing..

    I know what your saying and I agree a great deal but we don't have the resources presently to do what we would really like to do.
    Probably 'cos part of the time we are doing stupid stuff like this! See: http://www.thejournal.ie/readme/youll-be-back-from-prison-in-time-for-your-dinner-what-really-happens-when-you-dont-pay-your-tv-licence/

    There was a pilot project looking at tagging sex offenders abandoned years ago after much money was spent (familiar story I know). But all is not lost as Alan Shatter has made it one of his priorities. He also talked about introducing an Irish version of 'Sarah's Law'.
    The former I'd be totally in favour of, not so much the latter as it leads to incidents like that already mentioned in the thread. And with most people in the NIMBY camp, WTF would these people go?

    I'm going to grab a shotgun and patrol the street and if I see anyone that so much as looks like Larry Murphy they're getting a shell in the face, IN THE FACE!

    We have a lot of ghost estates (hundreds apparently) in the country.
    Fill one of them up with the dregs and wall them in!
    (Yes, I know... unrealistic and wishful thinking)

    No, you won't.
    You know it, and we know you know it.
    Your better than that.

    Spanish laws regarding rape and murder are actually laxer than Ireland would you belive. The Irish judicial system has its problems but Spain is veering far too much down the road to the Scandinavian route (without its positive parts) in my opinion.

    Maybe so. The street level Spanish police at times however its been noted don't treat the like of Murphy too gently when they do catch his ilk. They have no time for that type. Here we say we are cracking down harder - but instead do the exact opposite and pussy-foot around them in contradiction to what we say the law should be doing in a lot of cases.

    If I ever see him, Im gonna take a quick look around and if I see nobody, Im gonna hit him the hardest punch I got.

    BTW I thinks its pathetic we expect him to go abroad, After all he is our own problem, Not the problem of another E.U. country, At least if he is here, We can keep an eye on him, There is nothing to stop him blending in in a large E.U. city/country and continuing his depraved actions and shaming us in the process.
