Maura Harrington has a psychiatric illness called conscience

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday March 13, 2009 22:24author by TD - Galway Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

“I think this is terribly, terribly, dangerous” (Senator David Norris)

Besides the draconian and unjust imprisonment of Maura Harrington for the relatively mild offence of slapping a Guard across the face during of the course of a Shell operation in which 20 protestors were injured by Garda acting as Shell's thugs and battering ram in forcing a path for a digger and which none of them have been brought to book, it was the sinister decision of Judge Devins for Maura Harrington to be psychiatrically assessed that drew the most condemnation and fire, notably Senator David Norris who described it as "terribly, terribly, dangerous.”

... and after calling for a debate on the Corrib gasfield scandal went on to say that a minister of the day had given this field away for nothing to Shell, which was one of the worst polluters and one of the most avid multinationals and that he would be very sorry if, the Garda having been enlisted on behalf of a multinational, the court system should then begin to play a role in this matter (see link).

If this sinister decision is not an alarming return to Soviet era tactics in silencing and stigmatising dissent and conscience through the abuse of psychiatry?, then, what is it based on ?, the ad feminem nonsense of Judge Devins, perhaps? who "witnessed the enjoyment she (Maura) seems to get in being in the public limelight" - If this is a suitable case for treatment, then the Irish Times collectively has a more pressing appointment with the psychiatrist based on this loony paradigm than Maura which, yesterday, in its print edition, gloated and "enjoyed" their schadenfreude with obscene relish by highlighting the fact that Maura had to undergo psychiatric evaluation.?
