Things that make you go What the F**k?

ROI couldn't let a bomb travel into the north as they could never be sure it would get stopped before the destination. Too many murky figures may want to keep the 'conflict' going.

Ah yeah the taxi man chat after Omagh. Sure didnt the police force people into the killzone and Thatcher herself pressed the button.

It wasnt the fault of "decent Republicans"


Fking BULLSHIT

Theres a good news clip of Martin Gerry and the LOAF looking like guilty schoolboys as they knew it was one of their old buddies who "went rogue".

Gerry and Martin knew Omagh was he work of dissidents? I mean, didnt everyone know that fairly instantly? Given they had precisely nothing to do with it, why would they look like "guilty schoolboys"?

I'm surprised it wasn't allowed to cross into the north to see where it ends up. Then swoop.

And have another Omagh if they lose it?

Well if you are trying to suggest that Gerry and Martin were in involved in the Omagh bombing then I think the board will be able to see for itself who the f**king simpleton is.

'Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson said the incident "raises serious questions" about how the Irish government was "assessing the threat posed by dissident republican terrorism and whether the response is keeping pace with the danger".'

-- how the Irish government was assessing the threat
Obviously very well as the were keeping tabs on this

-- whether the response is keeping pace with the danger
Clearly it is because they stopped it before it crossed the border

Yeah the Irish government/Army/gardaí just likely saved one of his RUC buddies lives and he's giving off about it... gobshite.

Were Gerry & Martin involved, fair to say they were not.

Did they know who was involved, would be fairly confident within the 24 hours after Omagh they would have been up to date regarding the who, what, were and how.

How so?

See the DUP'ers are crying that the girl in the car was released on bail, hilarious but probably strange to get bail on a case like that?

[Rossfan]

Conditions -

bail provided she obtains a €15,000 independent surety, surrenders her passport, provides her phone number to gardaí, and signs on daily at Naas Garda Station.

He also ordered that she observe a curfew between 9pm and 7am.

The continual attempts by the DUP/UUP/TUV to undermine the justice system need to be nipped in the bud as far as I'm concerned. Particularly from those who know how the system operates. 

Those who don't I could understand but not those who do.

For those who don't as I'm sometimes asked for a brief overview I'll post it here.

In all criminal cases the starting point is the presumption of innocence, from that flows the presumption in favour of bail.

With some nuanced differences between north and south therefore bail can only be refused on certain limited basis.

There is a risk of reoffending if released on bail (technically this reoffending ought to be linked to the offence but that has been eroded over the last two decades).

There is a risk of interference with witness or the investigation (for example by recovering and concealing evidence)

There is a risk of non attendance or flight if released.

There is a risk of public disorder of released. Very very rarely used ground was argued in the Craigavon two case and was highly criticised academically at the time)

Risk to the persons safety (only available at police stations in Northern Ireland) and not a ground can be relied upon by a Court in Northern Ireland.

If the police/guards/prosecution can satisfy the court that one of these grounds is made out then the accused can still get bail if they can persuade the court that the risk identified can be properly managed by appropriate conditions.

So what you will note is that the seriousness is not a ground to refuse bail. It is a factor that feeds into objections for bail. For example a more serious allegation may heightened the risk of flight because an individual is more likely to flea if they are ultimately facing a more serious charge.

But bail is a balancing exercise considered on an individual basis that will examine all of the issues relating to the offence and the alleged offender.

As a result you simply can't say you got bail for this offence whilst someone else didn't get bail for that offence. It's far more nuanced and professionally approached than that and politicians either do or should know that before they try and influence individual judicial discretion in this manner.

It reads very like an innocent eejit.

I say she told to drive a car to a point, possible for money, doesnt say  she knew what was inside it, or if she did. She just ruined her life.

Wasn't a car bomb, I read she was paid to carry a bag to point x and had no idea what was in it

Fair play to the crazy bastard. How on earth he managed to turn the most powerful country in the world into his and his families own personal scam
