After
the showing of the 19th July 2001 Prime time program,
on the Urlingford drugs fiasco, RTE (Irish TV) remove
a corresponding article from their internet web site!
Why? Was this due to Garda pressure on the Prime Time
production team?
Garda
tries to recover from the Prime Time program, which
alleged serious incompetence and cover-ups
surrounding the 1995 Urlingford drugs scandal.
The
Garda propaganda machine swung into gear in the wake
of the 19th July Prime Time program which seriously
called into question the credibility of the Garda
operations in the 1995 Urlingford drugs seizure of
13.5tones of cannabis. The Prime Time program exposed
Garda incompetence in this case when almost half of
the drugs got through to the pushers on the streets
of Irish cities.
Former
Garda Jack Doyle, who was himself involved in the
covert drugs operations, gave witness on the Prime
Time program to the incompetence of the Garda and
called into question their very credibility in the
whole matter. When former Garda Doyle expressed
concerns and reservations as to the way the top Garda
were handling the import of the huge amounts of
drugs, he was relieved of his duties by his
"superiors", who accused him of being
mentally unstable and unfit to do his duties. He was
drummed out of the force; ever since he has been
trying to expose top Garda cover-ups in this case and
he declares that he has no faith in the Garda to hold
a fair and open inquiry into the whole matter.
Former
Garda Jack Doyle, is a native of Kilkenny. One
wonders why the lorry carrying the drugs stopped at
Urlingford, which is quite close to Kilkenny! Did the
Gardai from Kilkenny play an important part in the
"mishandling" of this drugs fiasco?
Many
questions are still unanswered in this case!
This is
only the latest in a whole line of serious
allegations being laid at the feet of top Irish
police.
(1) In
1996 , I sent a statement to Austen Currie TD (member
of the Irish parliament) , which was my personal
testimony of revelations and discoveries which
explains how people are abducted by an organised
group in Ireland and how the investigations are
covered up by powerful people . My information was
dismissed as the ramblings of a fool .
(2) After the 1995
abduction of Jo Jo Dollard near Moone in Co Kildare ,
the family of JoJo came into possession of
information and strong circumstantial evidence which
pointed the finger at the son of a wealthy land owner
and politician in the area of Moone , but the Garda
again rubbished these allegations!
(3) The Garda Emergency
Response Unit (trigger happy killers) shot dead John
Carthy in Abbeylara in April 2000, and when there was
a public outcry they called in their mentors the FBI,
to pull themselves out of the hole they shot
themselves into.
(4) The Garda fitted up
pitiful drug addict Dean Lyons for the GrangeGorman
murders of two mentally retarded middle aged women ,
when another killer , Mark Nash who murdered Karl and
Catherine Doyle in 1997 , had already admitted to the
GrangeGorman murders.
Since the thursday
evening screening of the Prime Time expose' on the
Urlingford drugs fiasco , there has been little or no
coverage in the Irish tabloid or broadsheet press ,
except for a few small mid page articles , eg: The
Examiner. On the other hand the the friends of the
Garda in the press , eg: Ireland on Sunday 22 nd July
printed a glowing report on the Urlingford Drug
"success" in 1995 , citing the commander of
the Garda National Drugs Unit , Kevin Carty ,as a
hero. We have also had several programs on RTE, Irish
TV ,which have highlighted the marvelous job that the
Garda have been doing. An operation in brainwashing
the people has begun by the press and media
"backers" of the Garda which gives the
impression that everything is fine and nothing is
wrong; we continue as if the Prime Time program never
took place! When one hears rumours of Garda
corruption involving organised crime , can we now
truly say that these are only rumours?
