We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Bantry Paedophile suspect released

category national | crime and justice | news report author Friday March 05, 2004 09:40author by JMcKauthor email jimmymac61 at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

West Cork not safe for children!

A 24 yo male suspect was released without charge late last night after being questioned about the production of child pornography. He is suspected of distributing hundreds of images on the internet.

Members of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation based at Harcourt Square in Dublin yesterday descended on the West Cork office of a paedophile suspected of producing and distributing images of boys and girls on the internet. The raid was the culmination of many months of surveillance by the NBCI .

The man, a native of Bantry, has extensive connections through family and business interests with the tourist industry and businesses supplying service to tourists, including accomodation in and around the Bantry/Castletown/Schull area of West Cork.

He was foremost among those who welcomed the USS Sullivans to Castletown last summer as part of the US Military propaganda drive to recruit more "Irish" in the US to the "war on terrorism".

Hundreds of child pornography images produced by the man may have been distributed to others on the internet and it was through one of these contacts that the Harcourt Square unit identified the man. A young boy a possibly two girls have already been identified from the many hundreds of images seized on the mans computer and other equipment seizes in Castletownbere.

Under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act it is an offence to produce, distribute or possess images of child pornography. A file has been sent to the DPP and charges may be taken depending on how much "pull" is brought into play .

The man had been photographing children in secret and without their knowledge while they holidayed in West Cork. It is not understood if all tourist accomodation connected with this man will be swept for "hidden cameras", as such an operation might mean obtaining search warrants for the premisis of some rather prominent business people in the South West Region.

this dreg of society should be named and then parents could act in an appropriate manner

Why should they not have the same rights as any other criminal. They have the right to undergo the same "rehabilitation process" as anyone else who has comitted any crime no matter how severe (as we the public judge due to our morals) that crime may be. Peadophiles are sick people and they need help, people who vent their anger out so quickly on them are sickening. These people must be helped and rehabilitated, not named and shamed. Publicly stamping someone as a peado and throwing them out into society and leaving them to the dogs is madness (almost revolting). I know you might say that peadophelia is even more revolting, but these pepole are sick, i.e mentally disabled, depressed ect, not evil( dont be rediculous). If we want to move forward as a society (ie the human race) we have to be able to use our conciousness and our supreme intelect as human beings (not dogs or animals).

What area do you live in, Big Daddy? So we can evacuate all the children. You are a disgusting apologist for these incurables. You dont happen to be a priest, do you?

Of course peadophelia is desgusting, but surely we can go about rehabilitation in a more civilised mannor.

That comment on preists...... dont be so childish.

Not sure if their underlying desires can be cured. Anything I have heard seems to indicate otherwise. But that does not mean that they can not control themselves if they want to.
The only thing the rest of us seem to be able to do is keep tabs on where they are. So it is our business to know them and be able to monitor them.
Nothing inhumane about that.

what the fuck are you talking about you sicko!! you want to watch them having sex with your kids?? next youll be pulling out your video recorder and posting that sicko shit on the web!! you bastard!!!

Oh Janet, take a moment to revel in your stupidity, because that is not what bill said AT ALL! I dont think anyone here agrees with peadophilia. What you just said was totally rediculous. Bill was suggesting that they needed to be monitored I.E. keep tags on their whereabouts, make them check into garda stations et cetera.

I dont know why exactly you were under the impression that bill actually meant what you said, it was a stupid thing for you to do, accuse someone of something as vile that.

George, its easy enough for anyone to state how much they hate peadophiles, but its far more difficult to think of a "proper" way to deal with them.

Everyones heard the same old shit before about how much we hate peadophiles but its all a load of bullshit, of course we hate peadophiles, now can we try and move the argument on to somewhere else? ie what to do with them, how to help them (in an intelligent humane sense).
