Mary Boyle Case

[Franko]

Its great that rumour and "no smoke without fire" has replaced evidence as a means of convicting people.
Nearly as good as "known to the Gardai" and "we know who did it but just cant get the evidence"
We have the same with Philip Cairns Fr Molloy etc

Michael Clifford touched on this in the Examiner yesterday http://www.irishexaminer.com/viewpoints/columnists/michael-clifford/michael-clifford-everybody-wants-justice-for-mary-boyle-but-that-is-nowhere-near-as-simple-as-is-portrayed-in-a-fevered-social-media-campaign-411902.html

Noted too the prominence of supporters of a certain party pushing this case extensively on social media, their obvious concern being for the family and no desire to smear opponents, of course not.

Now where have we seen that before?

I just watched it there on youtube so it's still available. It seems astonishing that a call from a politician would be enough to stop an investigation into the main suspect for the disappearance and probable murder of a child. It happened in such a rural and isolated area that the chances of an outsider involved like child killer Robert Black who was being mentioned by some journalists driving into the area were almost zero and this was ruled out by the retired Gardaí on the documentary. They looked haunted by the failure to solve the case especially as the main suspect seemed about to crack and confess at the time.

Owenmoresider strikes me as the type of guy who marches up and down his hall in a blueshirt and has Franco portraits all over his house.

Hardly, I couldn't possibly be as sad, bitter and hate-filled as yourself.

There's a lot of irony in your statement there.
