Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4It is about time section 31 was er-introduced for the Catholic Church. They continue to act as if nothing is really wrong. What right have these people to continue to speak in public about issues that do not concern them. After over 90 years of terrorism against children, they should be clearly seen in this light. They have no morals about them but continue to speak if as they were full of them. They ought to pay up and get out of Ireland. The Irish people should refuse point blank to negotiate with these terrorists who continue to abuse our laws by not providing vital information to the Gardai which was required of them.
Because they certainly planted a nasty time bomb in our society. They should hand over the primary schools and turn themselves in to mountjoy for child abuse to do some hard time. None of this slap on the wrist crap. Hard jail time. Resigning their cushy jobs is far from enough "penance" for grave sins like theirs. They are great at handing out penance themselves but it's a different rule when it comes to themselves. I'm an staunch atheist but I'd like to be wrong. If only to know that these scumbags would then see some real justice at some point as they burn in that lake of fire they used to be so fond of scaring our kids with. But these cold blooded abusers couldn't possibly believe in their own fairy stories. Otherwise they could never have risked committing such grave sins, knowing the eternal consequences. It's all a con job and this is the proof. The fact is none of them give a monkeys about any afterlife. They just want to get off with kids in this life for pleasure because what they actually believe is that this is all there is and they know they will get away with it because we are too stupid to stop them. prison is what they deserve. In fact prison is probably too good for them, but unlike them we DO have a moral code that we stick to.

The group acknowledged the Darver invitation to use facilities but the meeting heard we have great facilities here in the Cooley Peninsula at present but would recommend Darver’s services to those who felt they were accessible to their individual situations. The meeting also heard that Louth Community and Voluntary Forum are getting well organised and are an avenue for people to get items dealt with on spatial policy committee’s SPC’s etcetera. Dr Michael D Hynes is a member of the Forum and the current Chairperson.
All agreed to confer with each other via e-ail or phone on any issues of environmental and health concerns that is thought to have an impact on populous of The Cooley Peninsula and it’s Hinterlands.
Next meeting is programmed for Sunday 11th April 2010 @ 10 AM in The Strand Hotel Omeath Co Louth.
