For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Garda acting as Bastards again

category national | crime and justice | news report author Tuesday May 16, 2006 19:40author by Frank Hand Report this post to the editors

Pat Rossiter beats Public Order Charge

Just how low the garda will stoop has been shown again when they arrested Pat Rossiter and put him into the cell where his 14 year old son had sustained the injuries which killed him.
Pat has now won the Public Order case against him and intends to sue the gardai for wrongful arrest.

It has just been reported on the radio that Pat Rossiter, the father of 14 year old Brian who died in police custody in 2002, is to bring a case against the garda for wrongful arrest. The Public Order case against Mr. Rossiter was dismissed last week in Clonmel District Court. The judge raised serious questions about the way the case was handled.
Mr. Rossiter claimed that he was victimised by the garda because of his highlighting of the case of the suspicious death of his son. The viciousness of the garda involved was shown by them putting Mr. Rossiter into the same cell where his son had received the injuries which killed him.
These are the types of bastards employed as ‘guardians of the public’. This case has so many similarities to the Wheelock and Moloney cases. All three were very young working class men who died as a result of being in garda custody and there was a major cover-up in all of their cases.
The prospects of any of these families getting justice is dependent on them supporting each other and getting support from other people who have been abused by the garda. People who were attacked by the gardai in the so called “May Day riots” or those who were assaulted on the anti war protests at Easter should also get involved in supporting cases such as the Rossiters. This is why the McBrearty case is so important. The McBrearty case and Morris reports have cast a serious doubt over the current ethos of the garda. People who would normally support the garda now realise that all the accusations against the garda over the years wasn’t just politically motivated, there was actually truth in the claims. Politically activate people, particularly republicans of all hues, realise that the primary role of the garda is to protect the establishment. With the publication of the Morris reports, the McBrearty case, the Dean Lyons case etc… ordinary people are also realising that the gardai are not simply there to “Protect and Serve”. A concrete result of this mistrust of the garda is the establishment of the new Independent Garda Inspectorate. While far from perfect, it is a lot better than the useless Garda Complaints Board. Prior to the scandals about garda abuse no politician would have had the guts to take on such a powerful interest group as the garda. Now, even McDowell is facing down their bullyboy tactics in resisting the establishment of the reserve.

Both the Wheelocks and Moloneys are looking for support over the coming months. It is the duty of all those who want to expose the corruption of the garda to help these people as much as possible. Here are a couple of events which people could use to show their support. Both campaigns need financial support as well as physical support.

Judge Finn dismissed the charges and said the prosecuting garda, who is also appearing at the private inquiry into the death of Mr Rossiter’s son, had had “an endgame in sight and that was the arrest of Mr Rossiter”.

There is no evidence whatsoever that Brian Rossiter was injured during custody

author by posytpublication date Wed May 17, 2006 12:44author address author phone Report this post to the editors

the first posting is inaccurate foaming at the mouth tripe.

perhaps we should dispense with any enquiries into the death of brian rossiter given that frank hand has already decided that the injuries suffered by brian rossiter were inflicted in the cell at the station based on no evidence save a yet to be tested statement of a co-detainee.

"All three were very young working class men who died as a result of being in garda custody and there was a major cover-up in all of their cases"
wrong, wrong and wrong
there is no substance to any of the above claims

how the moloney case can be classed as dying as a result of being in garda custody is beyond me. such libellous tripe does not serve the cause of open source publishing well

If the muck savages have nothing to hide why don’t they agree to an independent public enquiry in all three cases?

Another public enquiry. Good idea. Lets make the corrupt legal profession even more richer. Lashing back the sherry and port in the Law Library while the tax payer waits in the quque at Accident and Emergency.

Nice of you to be worring about the taxpayer, pity you don't have the same view when you're raking in the overtime. Would the Reserve not be a good use of the taxpayers money? After all they don't get paid.

perhaps 'pcplod' can answer the following;

where have the gardai stated that they dont agree with independent enquiries into the three cases?

as far as i can see the gra/agsi rep bodies haven't issued a single syllable in this regard?

secondly, please refrain from the childish assumption that anyone who disagrees with your point of view is garda/branch/rightwing etc......

We are reaping the abuse that was tolerated when the Gardai were given a blank cheque that was given to them to deal with what was termed the threat to the state. They have become a power block that believes it’s above the law in the type of illegal activities its being involved in and the defying the law in its objection to a reserve Garda force. Its time the big stick was used in the likes of an ombudsman that they have in N Ireland.
