    Garda killer Martin Mc Dermott who recieved a 7 year sentence last July has escaped from loughan house , an open prison in Co.Cavan.
    This piece of work was sentenced less than a year ago and already he was in an open prison!
    Well at least the government and the prison service have their priorities right, tough on cop killers.....


    not!

    Why do they call them 'open prisons'?

    Dosshouses is what they are.

    controversial

    As if to confirm that he is even more of a thick headed scumbag the filthy coward does a runner. Probably bawling his eyes out in some bush.
    Hope he rots.

    Ridiculous having him in an open prison like loughan house he should have been in maximum security as he was lucky enough just to get 7 years for killing the Garda.

    91 previous convictions, a 20 yr driving ban he kills a gaurd gets only 7 yrs in a open prison! Jesus irish justice sucks. why wasn't this mentioned on the news?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Up to 1990 you got the death penalty ( capital offence) for the unlawful killing of a law or prison officer. Unbelievable that this filth was in an open prison so soon, hope the guards have a nice surprise waiting for him when they haul his useless ass back in.

    Don't you lay a finger on that boy's head. That young man probably just needs some hugs and a confidence building holiday in the Maldives.

    Probably because they don't have enough spaces in proper prisons, and boy racer here wasn't seen to be as much of a threat as violent offenders. Would say they'll have fun with him if/when he's caught...

    I agree but I think he should contribute towards the flight costs. If he doesn't have any money then it should come out of his future salary or benefits. I would also add that in the current financial climate, Maldives seems a bit extravagant and one of the Canary islands would be more appropriate.

    He should also get a warning about what will happen if he does it again.(escape)

    What are you implying about our fine law enforcement people?

    That guy's known to be very clumsy and is likely to fall (several times) while being arrested....:rolleyes:

    Well lets just hope he didn't drive off, after all he got a driving ban for mowing down some busybody Garda who got in the way of his fun!

    Why would you get a worse sentence for killing a guard? Are they better than normal people?

    Because when a garda got killed they were usually doing something like facing down armed IRA scumbags or trying to stop joyriders in stolen cars. How often do 'normal' people do that?

    How often to normal people pin murders on people on lads who live in Donegal or Cork? Take your reverence somewhere else.

    That's some good axe grinding there boss. Take it somewhere else perhaps?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭howsyourtusk


    I'm just saying that reverence for an organisation that's helped cover up child sex abuse and has pinned murders on innocent people twice in recent years deserves little or no respect. And certainly not elevation above normal people dying. Someone be killed is sad and wrong, no matter who it is.

    Nice to see someone thinks that because some guards are cnuts this guards killer should get a medal. perhaps you could answer me a question thats been bugging me....what is a trolls favourite colour?

    You are confusing reverence and something that was on the books back in the 1980's.

    In the laws eyes a guard killed in active duty was considered the victim of a capital murder. It was a provision made at the time the original death penalty was abolished.
