Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Well done Justin. You have been a staunch campaigner for human rights all of your life, both here in Ireland and abroad.
John Waters penned a good piece on the judiciary in the Irish Times on Friday.
A few letters to the editor might be apt and fruitful as they may be published.
One glaring deficit alone is illustrated by the fact that there does not even exist an independent complaints body to file a grievance with if a judges abuses his position, which he holds at the 'pleasure' of 'the people', though one would find that latter point streching credulity.
The system is opaque and needs a stong and permanent light shone onto its workings.
I never heard of this case before but I take you at your word. Hopefully the story will become like the Unied Irish harp of 1798 :
'..NEWLY STRUNG AND SHALL BE HEARD'
Others who listened carefully to the tale of corruption and injustice in the Irish judicial system were Sinn Fein TD Martin Ferris, Senator Martin McAleese and the son (Mark?) of Tom Sweeney who had almsot died on hunger strike outside the same Dáil some years ago. The Presidential hopeful (at the time) was Mairead McGuinness, MEP.
None were happy with the revelations but also they were not surprised.
As Peter reminded one of them: They should be surprised. What does it say of our Parliament that they were not?
On returning from the protest I was surprised to find an e-mail from the Minister for Justice in reply to one I had written to him 3 months earlier.
Mr Shatter politely explained the functions of the Garda, the DPP, the Garda Commissioner and the Garda Ombudsman in the prosecution of alleged crimes. However he pointed out that, at this time, it would not be appropriate to set up an Inquiry or Tribunal to examine the Kevin Tracey case.
