Every time I see this thread I think of Richard Morton on the phone to his Geordie mate, asking about the riots. His mate replied:
"Riots? Oh, you mean the festival."

I mean I know I differ quite a bit from the party line and a good deal from Mr. 74 on a number of issues, but isnt that what makes FF the best party in Ireland, left of centre but we have all types. I mean 18 of the last 20 years speaks for itself.
Oh no not them again
Hey, I never made Nazi references.... I don't remember mentioning the PD's that much....
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Heh. Godwin's Law. See the codicil.
Left of centre?????? As the popular terrace tune goes - Yer havin a laugh.

Heh. Godwin's Law. See the codicil.
if fails to factor in the "humour" that dahamsta might be in
1. Never heard of this Godwins law before.
2. There was absolutley no intention of a nazi reference in the post. I was referring to the idea of turning a blind eye to wrong doing.
3. I suppose bringing this up is a good way of avoiding answering a question...
Story taken from the Sunday Business Post.
The American detective who discovered Judge Brian Curtin's credit card number on a child porn website has revealed that he found substantial supporting evidence, including Curtin's home address, e-mail address and details of his computer's internet service provider.
Texas police officer Steve Nelson said he is prepared to testify at any inquiry or impeachment hearing into the conduct of Curtin.
"I will do whatever is required,'' Nelson said.
He also disclosed that Curtin's credit card was not used to access adult porn, contrary to suggestions in earlier reports, which were based on sources close to the judge.
In an interview with The Sunday Business Post, Nelson said that Curtin's personal details, in addition to his credit card details, were found on a database maintained by the Texas web portal, Landslide Productions, which directed customers to child pornography websites.
Nelson said the discovery of this additional information demonstrated that a thief or an imposter could not have accessed the website solely with the aid of a stolen credit card.
He added that Curtin's details were supplied to Landslide for one month's access to a specific child porn site called Lolita World, which specialised in graphic pictures of pre-pubescent children.
Nelson said it was the first website that users were directed to when they clicked on a Landslide hyperlink titled ``Click Here for Child Porn''.
Nelson, the sole officer tasked with accessing the sites, dismissed claims that Curtin's card was only used to access an adult porn website linked to the Landslide Productions portal."

Well the government, with one bound, have been freed of their dilemma.
A guilty verdict on the drink driving charge is more than sufficient grounds to fire him.
They must have been flowwing him around for the last week trying to get him on something.
Very convenient nonetheless.
complete fcukwit or what??.imagine being under the media/garda spotlight
and then drink driving.tosser
May I remind you he's still not convicted of anything. The urine sample could come in under the limit yet...complete fcukwit or what??.imagine being under the media/garda spotlight

Precedent suggests otherwise, previous cases of drink drive judges have got a payoff to go quietly....

Am I the only person a bit uneasy with the "we'll follow you until you slip up" style of policing here?
Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for Curtin but surely the judicial system should remove him from office and be seen to be policing themselves.
We should be asking just how the Gardai made such a mistake with the search warrent in the first place - this is no way to clean up their mess.
don't worry, they couldn't hit an elephant at this dis......
They weren't cases entangled in child pornography scandals though.
That question has already been answered. They took advice from solicitors in the office of the DPP.
With regard to the drink driving, it's possible that Curtain was shopped by someone who saw him drinking.

apparently he "allegedly" overtook a pushbike in an erratic manner and was
pulled over.
Has happened before that rouge Garda units target individuals when can't get them on large offences e.g. Donegal + some dodgy dealings in Traleee i think regarding a SF'er?
Seperate issues though - they either do him for one or the other. Given recent events and allegations, if he was over the limit then he deserves everything he gets for being that arrogant/stupid...

And here was me thinking it would be easier, quicker and cheaper to co-ordinate the raids the day before the warrents expired....but then I'm no solicitor

Mr Curtin wasn't at home on any of the dates his house was visited by the Gardai during the validity of the warrant. Apparently he hadn't come home. The warrant expires and all of a sudden Mr Curtin is available to have the warrant served. Of course it's unreasonable to think that he could have known anything about the warrant. The fact that the warrant was issued by a member of the judiciary to which Mr Curtin belongs is merely coincidence and I forbid anyone to think otherwise!
