Police corruption and reform high on conference agenda | Irish Examiner,Prof Walsh said: “It is still the case, for example, that standing orders covering all aspects of Garda management and practices are not publicly accessible. The same applies to the existence and contents of Garda policies.

said.




The inquiry team found that in the early-2000s when a group of professionals
attempted to monitor a number of children believed to be at risk, "managers gave
little help or support to their efforts".




The report revealed some people at a senior level in the police and

"Dealing with injustice" Irish Times article by Marie Murray (Psychologist)

"Dealing with injustice" Irish Times article by Marie Murray (Psychologist,Injustice is unpalatable to all age groups. It confuses the child, angers the adolescent, appals the adult and outrages those who have seen its consequences too often. This is because they know the many human systems in which injustice may locate itself and "justify" its lodging. Some injustices are inequalities experienced by sections of society because of the circumstances of their birth: their gender, skin colour, mental capacity, physical ability, age, wealth and the unwillingness of the surrounding society to challenge unequal treatment based on these facts. Other injustices may arise randomly, by simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time; by being unable to prove one's victimhood; or by finding that there is no adequate legal redress for what one has suffered in an unprovoked attack upon oneself or upon one's family.

Mr. O'Kennedy: With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propost to take Questions Nos. 109, 110 and 111 together.

The annual capitation grant paid to St. Anne's school, Kilmacud, in each of the past five years was as follows: 1965, £3,620; 1966, £3,930; 1967, £3,910; 1968, £4,510; 1969, £5,480.

This school was last visited in May, 1970. While inspectors' reports on all schools are of a confidential nature I can say that the report of the inspection in question was fully satisfactory. There appears to be a degree of conflict between the school authorities and the courts as to the stage at which an erring girl should be referred to St. Anne's and this matter is under investigation. I am satisfied that the school is, however, fulfilling the basic purpose for which it was originally founded.?

Dáil Éireann - 29/Jun/1960 Criminal Justice Bill, 1960—Second Stage (Resumed).

Dáil Éireann - 29/Jun/1960 Criminal Justice Bill, 1960—Second Stage (Resumed).I am thinking now of a young boy or, worse still, a young girl, although the situation does not arise with girls because as a rule courts do not send a girl to prison. Take a young person who gets into trouble and for whom there is no alternative but to give him a term in jail, if he has been cautioned two or three times and manifestly is going to continue on his course of conduct. He gets say one month in jail. How can it be desirable that that young person should be brought into contact with the other type of prisoners who habituate a penal institution like Mountjoy and who are manifestly quite unsuitable as company for a reckless youth, whom all of us are concerned not alone to check but to redeem? I refer not only to those categories of persons who have been guilty of grave moral delinquency but any decent citizen who gets into trouble which brings him into jail. He has had enough woe surely without equating him in jail with tramps, winers, and “knackers” and all the flotsam and jetsam of prison life with which ordinarily he would have no common contact and with which for his own salvation he should never be identified either in his own mind or in the minds of those into whose care he has been committed when he is sent to jail.?

A Department of Justice review into numerous claims of Garda misconduct has been described as meaningless by one of the families whose complaint it is examining. Lucia O’Farrell, whose son Shane, 23, was killed in a hit and run in 2011, said there is a conflict of interest because the review of how gardaí handled his case will be overseen by the barrister who represented her son’s killer in the subsequent trial.

Text Only | Irish Examiner

Text Only | Irish Examiner.Fianna Fáil’s justice spokesperson, Niall Collins, said people will lose confidence in the review process and its integrity if the concerns of families are not taken into account.

“The minister needs to recognise this inadequacy, remember her earlier promise to take these complaints seriously and put it right.

“Simply carrying out a paper exercise will not suffice.

“These cases represent people’s real life experiences and many feel that the justice system has failed them, they deserve at a minimum to be heard by this legal panel at least once,” Mr Collins said.

Minister Fitzgerald, during her time as a Senator, described the Stardust fire as “one of the worst tragedies ever in Ireland” and said the handling of the investigation was ”no victory for politics”.?
