Garda Whistleblower Cover-up
Mick Clifford: Smell of Garda scandal is spreading — but is justice minister paying attention?
Fresh allegations involving Garda whistleblowers, the death of Colm Horkan and a controversial prosecution raise serious questions about State accountability
McEntee told the house on Thursday that she didn’t disclose the identity of a whistleblower when she sent his protected disclosure back to An Garda Síochána in 2023.
The whistleblower, Detective Superintendent Brian O’Reilly, as reported in the Irish Examiner, disputes this. He says the garda commissioner was unaware he had gone to the minister.
Aontu’s Peadar Toibin has accused the minister of breaking the law in sending on the protected disclosure to An Garda Síochána. It is certainly the case that she has refused to say what law she was acting under.
Again on Thursday, she waffled around all she had done, but still won’t cite the law she acted under.
Multiple media reports, including in the Irish Examiner, have detailed how there appears to have been a cover-up about the flawed holster, both before and after Garda Horkan’s murder.
Thursday was also the day that Michael McDowell made some startling revelations in the Seanad. He told the house that one of the whistleblowers who has featured in recent coverage is a man by the name of Luke Rochford. He is before the criminal courts.
“I am quite satisfied that he has been the victim of a major vicious campaign to incriminate him and put him in the position of being a defendant in a trial on indictment,” McDowell said.

VAT was raised from 21% to 23% in Budget 2012 to plug deficits during the EU-IMF bailout. What justifies keeping that extra 2% now? Same question applies to USC. Austerity taxes shouldnt become permanent fixtures, especially amid massive surpluses & enduring Cost of Living hikes
3.5 million people living with cancer who mustn't take folic acid as it speeds up growth of cancer.
It also increases cancer in both sexes.

Graham Carey got two years in prison for words. Fianna Fáil Cllr Abul Kalam Azad Talukder can say he’d like Dublin rioters “shot in the head” and beaten “until they die” — and nothing happens. Free speech only applies when it suits the narrative. #FreeGrahamCarey#TwoTierJustice
So even after all the strife Helen McEntee put us through by saying there were no hate speech laws in Ireland, this prosecution was brought under the 1989 provision against incitement to hatred.

A Ukrainian military officer is on trial in Germany for the terrorist attack on the Nord-stream pipeline. This attack had the gravest environmental, energy and economic consequences. His defence is that he was only obeying orders from his government. Your intelligence services and their media lied to you that Russia itself committed this crime. Who will be held accountable for this?

Polish individuals were caught doing this back in 2010 how has their not been changes made to the system to prevent this. Also as the Irish government allow social welfare and other payments to be made to revolut accounts their are probably thousands receiving payments while residing full time in other countries. (Weekly Payments from the Irish government to people residing in Ukraine have been mentioned by Revolut in the past)
Nigerian man (Olatunde Salawe) living in U.K. charged with Social welfare theft connected to an €800,000 fraud, had been flying to Dublin weekly to collect the dole, a court has heard.….
As many of my friends and supporters already know - the Irish Medical Council, have found me 'Guilty of Misconduct' in respect of my public criticism of Government Policies throughout the 'pandemic' and my criticism of the toxic genetic "vaccines" we were coerced into taking.
I must appear before the Medical Council in Dublin on the 4th of November to receive my punishment.
My sentencing is open to the public. I do hope you will come along to say hello, and wittness firsthand just how corrupt the medical system in Ireland has become - how it is controlled by greed, by self interest and by a Pharmaceutical agenda that continues to destroy lives in return for profits.
See you at the IMC Dublin 10am November 4th

Another mother speaks out - @CarrollJennifer
💔 CHRISTIAN WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND. AND NEITHER WILL THE CHILDREN WHO COME BEFORE AND AFTER HIM.
Look at this beautiful boy. ❤️
Christian has been through more than any child should ever have to endure. He has suffered, he has fought, and he has had to face the consequences of delays in care that no child and no family should have to experience.
And yet, here he is. Still fighting. Still here. Still deserving of answers.
But this is about so much more than Christian. It’s about every child who has suffered. Every family who has fought to be heard. Every parent who has watched their child deteriorate while desperately seeking the care they needed. And the children we have tragically lost along the way.
We cannot change what these children have endured, but we can fight to make sure their suffering is not ignored, their stories are not buried, and their futures are not forgotten.
That is WHY we are calling for a FULL, INDEPENDENT, PUBLIC INQUIRY.
When children have suffered, when families have been left with unanswered questions, and when lives have been lost, the public deserves transparency, families deserve answers, and those affected deserve to have their voices heard.
An inquiry held behind closed doors cannot give families the same public accountability they are calling for.
These children are not statistics. They are not inconvenient stories. They are not something to be quietly moved on from. THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN.
Christian will not be forgotten.
The children we have lost will not be forgotten.
The families still fighting will not be silenced.
We owe it to Christian. We owe it to every child who has suffered. We owe it to the families who are still waiting for answers. And we owe it to the children of the future, so that they are never left to endure what these children have endured.
NO MORE SILENCE. NO MORE LOOKING AWAY. NO MORE CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND. @SimonHarrisTD
📢 WE WANT A PUBLIC INQUIRY. WE WANT TRANSPARENCY. WE WANT ANSWERS. AND WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE HEARD.
Because Christian’s story matters.
Their stories matter.
And we will not stop fighting for them. ❤️🩹
