I'm curious as to what careers are out there that require a persons sex life to be subject to scrutiny by an employer. I genuinely cannot think of any.

School teacher (sleeping with the same gender makes you 'incompatible with a Catholic ethos', don't you know), and while not a paying profession, blood donor.

And is it any wonder, reading the latter part of this thread, that so many of us with mental illness fear seeking treatment. I wonder how many of the judgemental people who consider themselves 'normal' in their mental health, morality and sexuality are people you would want looking after your kids. Isn't that what the history of abuse in this State boils down to?

It's a wonder that the devious so and so never pursued the old "guilty but Insane" ploy.His reportedly "erratic" behaviour in prison may be a deliberate ruse to engineer a transfer to the Central Mental Hospital and, therefore, a more lenient sentence.

Yeah I think with the benefit of hindsight, Dwyer probably knows now he should have admitted to being there when Elaine died and claimed that she died accidentally and he legged it and told nobody for fear of destroying his marriage.

But that's with the benefit of hindsight. By the time he'd have realized that, it had gone too far and had gone on for too long with his denial of ever being there at all. If he had tried to backtrack, he'd have had no credibility - just as he can't really go down that route now in any appeal.

Up until what point could he have changed his statement or spoke to the gardai again to backtrack? When the book of evidence is served does his defense team have access to everything?

He admitted having sex with her, he denied that the phones were his despite all the evidence linking him to them, when asked how he contacted Elaines iphone he said he couldn't explain because he denied the other phones were his and there was no phone calls from his registered phone to her, he also denied being into knife play and surely he knew that they had found the videos of him stabbing people.

Most salient point of this case is not being able to judge a book by it's cover, 99.5% of Irish people are quicker than 5G Broadband to dismiss people as 'knackers' or 'quares' because of other people's dress sense, education, demeanor, accent etc, etc, yet this hero of 'middle Ireland' has the face, comportment and lifestyle that the country and it's media jizzes it's pant's about.

Still, 99.5% of those that break into houses, rob handbags, phones etc will have a certian dress sense, accent etc, thats a fact whether it's being discrimanatory or not.

They have it too easy in prision with their gyms, plamsa tvs, playstations, snooker tables, libraries etc.

Whenever I hear or see stuff like this, I imagine that the vast majority of people that trot this bollocks out would shit themselves at the mere thought of spending a week inside.
