State secures first convictions of banking crisis

category national | anti-capitalism | news report author Thursday January 20, 2011 11:54author by éirígí PRO - éirígí Report this post to the editors

The Twenty-Six County state has secured the first convictions in relation to the collapse of the private banking sector - in the form of two men who had the cheek to publicly oppose the bank bailout scheme.

The two activists, John McCusker and Pádraig Ó Meiscill were convicted on Tuesday (January 18) in the Criminal Courts of Justice at Parkgate Street, Dublin of public order offences relating to a peaceful protest at Anglo Irish Headquarters on May 15 last year. They are scheduled to reappear before the court to have sentencing confirmed next Tuesday [January 25]. Both will be appealing their convictions.

The trial of five other éirígí activists, which was also due to commence yesterday, was adjourned. Ursula Ní Shionnain, Daithi Ó Riain, Robbie Fox and Eoin Ó Se, the four activists arrested after unveiling a banner from the roof of theporch of the bank, have had their trial on charges of trespass adjourned until April 14 as a result of Garda witnesses not appearing in court.

Daithí Mac An Mháistír's case was also adjourned when defence request for a different judge to hear his case was aceeded to. He is now set to stand trial on May 9 for public order offences also related to the protest.

Not in the least surprised, the day the 'bankers' appear in court, hell will freeze over. Good example of that is the 'secrecy' agreement between Drumm and our 'Government'.

But yer honour...

...WE own the shagging place. We bought it through our public representative, the Minister for Finance.

Send him an e-mail and ask him to attend and testify in your defence. Get your solicitor to send it, they are more likely to reply.

Just for the record.
