category dublin | politics / elections | news report author Monday July 03, 2006 12:30author by mOuse

The Goose Pub.

Mr Preston wants to know why the journalists and mainstream media are not asking
Minister Mc Dowell why he keeps referring to the attack on his daughter to the criminal case
which resulted from investigations at the Goose Pub and not to the conspiracy of silence
surrounding the removal and alteration of documents related to the civil case, in which he has
implicated Mr Joe Costello TD?

Mr Preston wants to know who provided the doorman service to the Goose Pub,
where two people implicated in the assault on his daughter were allowed
free access. Witnesses who made statements to the Gardai were minors
and served openly in the pub and allowed access to the facilities.

When Ms Preston was attacked, Mr Preston wants to know why the
security at the pub called the gardai and not an ambulance. The girl
was left standing outside the pub for fifteen minutes with a bleeding face.

Two people implicated in the case have faced serious criminal charges.
One is deceased, (shot).

Mr Preston asks again why Michael Mc Dowell TD refers the issue to the criminal case
and not the tampering with evidence in a civil case.

He wants indymedia readers to be aware that the political parties who
fight for rights of citizens do not stand in solidarity with him.

He is forty three days on hunger strike.

He has asked for Brian, who previously reported the story to make contact regarding
the situation at the Goose pub.

Minister Mc Dowell has referred the issue of injustice against Ms Preston
consistently back to the case of criminal assault.

People are asked to contact Michael Mc Dowell to answer the question :

Why he refers the case of assault on Ms Preston to the criminal case, when the question is
why has a TD of Dail Eireann who is implicated in tampering with documentation
relating to a civil case not being charged with a crime?

Who provides the door security at the Goose Pub?
