Will he join the lists of the disappeared?

The Vatican is not here, and Catriona Ruane and the NIO are sadly calling the shots. That’s the problem you are failing to grasp.

Ms Ruane tells the CCMS they can get away with what they want to get away with.

She won’t lift a finger to put a CCMS school back on the straight and narrow. She is following in a line of malfeasance which has direct rule precedents.

The CCMS and the Northern Bishops have an immunity agenda, they’e encouraged in that direction by the NIO & the British govt.

The NASUWT get the exact same deal. So it is not restricted to the Catholic Church. Both are offered the same ‘free pass’ franchise.

The Vatican tells subordinates they shouldn’t have immunity and the British tell them they can have a free pass, in fact, the NIO insist. That is what I am up against.

If the Pope was Big Brother No1, I’m sure we wouldn’t have the same problem. The core problem is the NIO and the govt. in London.

Big Brother No1 is also doing a Cardinal Law if you make the assumption he is Catronia Ruane’s political boss. That transfer of blame wouldn’t be unreasonable. Gerry Adams is (often) here and the Pope isn’t.

(Anyone else find that the lights on their bullshit detectors just started flashing?)

the SDLP, Sinn Fein were a waste of time, I had to talk unionists into taking a swing at it.

The reason it went nowhere was because the PSNI, PPSNI & NIO didn’t want to do it.

The Vatican wants it resolved.

It is not that easy out in the provinces to get the central line adopted, it just isn’t.

Northern Bishops, they just want it buried.

The PSNI. PPSNI, NIO & Goggins, and Tony Blair, agreed that buried was the best option.

That’s what we were up against & the Northern Bishops of course. I worked it for a year.

Did my best

G.

Once again, you focus on the aftermath of the crimes, preferring to lay blame for the failures in prosecution, all the while avoiding the elephant in the nursery, namely the church you work for and the systematic abuse of children.
How can you crow so much about being a crusader against abuse when you work for the catholic church?

See above, I just did criticize the Northern Bishops, they can’t be trusted in relation to child protection, they’re very difficult.

(b)

I also requested the media articles which illustrated ‘the nature’ of the problem. Or, to be specific, the PSNI & PPSNI didn’t really want to do any of it. The NIO hand at work.

(c)

I roped in political friends to say the needful for the positive media articles.

‘The UUP family affairs spokesman Esmond Birnie said: “An independent inquiry could be very helpful in restoring public confidence. I am not completely convinced the Church has done all it can to restore public confidence since Ferns.”‘

PSNI & PPSNI let us down. The former couldn’t even be relied upon to ask for detailed files.

I spoke to Dr. Birnie about it on the 1st Feb 2007. I worked at it until 17th Jan 2008.

The decision not to prosecute was perhaps early August, I’ve seen documents dated 09 August 2007 talking about informing suspects.

The notification to the media took place 07 December 2007, I stopped (lobbying) a few weeks later, 17th Jan. The NIO had it fixed.

There you have it

G.

A few people tried to do do something about it. We didn’t have that much support.

In my view the NIO, PSNI, & PPSNI took a less than thorough position.

Northern Ireland
Clergy: Sexual Offences
David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether the Police Service of Northern Ireland has received (a) full details and (b) summaries of allegations of child sexual abuse by priests from the Roman Catholic Church. [148549]

Paul Goggins: I have been advised by the PSNI that they have received information regarding a number of allegations of historic sexual abuse allegedly committed by priests from the Roman Catholic Church.

This information was handed to PSNI by solicitors acting on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church has co-operated fully with PSNI supplying all relevant information which has been required or requested.

An investigation file is currently with the Public Prosecution Service for consideration.

The following article was written after Esmond Birnie called the Newsletter to offer the UUP perspective & view.

I spoke to Dr. Birnie about it on the 1st Feb 2007. I told him I wasn’t happy at all and would appreciate it if the UUP could adopt a critical position.

“However, despite such a lengthy investigation, on Jan- uary 15 a
spokesman for the Government said in Parliament that they did not know
how many Roman Catholic officials have been interviewed by police in
Northern Ireland or charged in relation to withholding evidence of
child abuse over the past 10 years.
Minister Paul Goggins told MP Teresa May that the PSNI said the
information was not available in the requested format and could be
provided only at disproportionate cost. ”

Makes you wonder about C. Ruane’s vetting promises doesn’t it?

I think you will also find the hand of Tony Blair and the NIO all over our local issue.

G.

“Sex pest” indeed.

Do keep us informed of the Garda’s investigations.

“Sick sex pest poses as local man to harass women online”

That being unlawful, the Andytown News vaguely hinted at that in their headline. Also, I’m not Continuity Catholicism as such, I’m just a pro-Vatican lobbyist.

I do Catholic stuff.

G.

I do however win court cases as a rule. If you are the original TAFKABO, have you still got the Stormont photos of me waiting for the Deputy First Minister?

GARDAÍ are investigating claims a sex pest stole the identity of a West Belfast anti-porn campaigner and used it to harass women over the internet.

They haven’t censored everything at the Andytown News yet by the way.

Worst of all, and I say this seriously, Greg calls in the lawyers when things don’t go his way.
Mick needs to be very careful in allowing this type of loon on the boards, my advice is to keep a very close watch on him, he has destroyed on discussion board as it is.

‘Opponents of Big Brother No1 were today targeted by group-think militia in a punitive action which left one little dog ‘kicked’ and many pedestrians injured, one tree is thought to have been set upon by a group of eejits armed with a chainsaw’

I’ve asked for political asylum in the United States I’m still waiting for President Bush to get back to me.

G.

I had to pay for a skip to take away about 800 bottles, SF and Belfast City Hall allowed me to eat the loss/cost. Rely on oneself.

SF also cut down my tree. In fairness the ATN did a sympathetic story on my knife wielding yobbo probs. However, SF tended to well, take control, so my tree had to go.

Not that the tree was out killing anybody or anything. That’s life, that’s SF. I wasn’t invited to the meeting about MY tree, I’m not a group-thinker.
