Public Inquiry · Learning the truth

Sam Smyth, whose daughter suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, is still in the process of finding out just how ruthless and uncaring Irish politicians are when it comes to looking after their own petty interests.

As part of the deal (which, by the way was secret and thus totally undemocratic) to support the formation of a government Independent TD, Finian McGrath was promised that CF sufferers would be looked after.

As soon as he withdrew his support these ruthless people pulled the plug on the deal. In other words they were only interested in political power not the welfare of very vulnerable citizens.?This Would Apply To Most People With Disabilities.?

Negligence claims against gardaí concerning criminal investigations to proceed to trial Smyth vs Commissioner of An Garda Síochána (2014) IEHC 453 (High Court, Peart J, July 10th, 2014)

The history of An Garda Síochána is a long litany of violence against citizens, of indiscipline, insubordination and ineptitude, corruption and illegality, of ill-treating detainees, botched investigations and much more – wrongdoing revealed by tribunals of inquiry culminating in the extraordinary findings of the Morris Tribunal whose recommendations still blow in the wind, in court trials and in debacles like the latest one that brought down the Minister for Justice.
