Bankers Bonuses and DPP

category international | crime and justice | opinion/analysis author Tuesday April 19, 2011 21:26author by Brian Flannery - Justice Report this post to the editors

Is it blatant corruption or constructive?

Carpe Diem

Save the Day

It is only people who can make a change.

Since 2008 Irish Society has been suppressed with the bailouts, the cover-ups, the bankers, and the ordinary taxpayer who literally has to pay for the shit that these people have left behind. We have had Joe Higgins, Richard Boyd-Barrett and the contingent on programme after programme for almost three years trying to seek answers and getting nowhere. I now want to ask the question - where is the DPP in relation to the insurmountable volume of fraud inquiries and files that have been passed over since last December by the Fraud Squad at Harcourt Square.

Last December, before Fachtna Murphy stood down as Garda Commissioner he assured the Irish public on radio and TV that there would people before the courts in the New Year. Not so - Fachtna - I hope you are enjoying your large pension. Today I am reading in all papers about the conference of Gardai Sergeants and Inspectors that now they have finally admitted that the load work in relation to the banking mess and the fraud is way out of their depth. I have heard time and time again certain economists stating, especially Kieran Allen, to bring in an independent forensic team of specialists to assist the cops and urgently. This is going on far too long and in the middle of it Sean FitzPatrick and Fish Fingers Fingleton will play their golf on the best links from here to Spain and the Algarve. I then ask the question - for a man like Fitzie who who was declared bankrupt last winter by the High Court - how can he still live the life of a King? Yet, prison numbers have in 2010 exceeded 7,000 for the first time in our history since the Civil War. As Luke Ming Flanagan said - you will not see a banker or a developer among the 7,000 inmates. Simple Question: If I break a Bank and a Nation - I receive a lump sum and play golf. If I go out and rob food to feed my hungry children and in desperation, I will find myself under the full attack of Irish law and the DPP will be swift to charge me and leave me on a landing holding a piss pot in Mountjoy jail.

People might think I am being too simplistic. Let us get real here. We may have a change of Government but take a deeper look - there is no real change out there. The cronyism, the 1% elite Established Classes, remain fully intact and in charge and I am sadly bewildered as to why the Irish people have not come out in force to regain back their country, their democracy and above all their basic civil liberties.

I noticed in the Daily Mail today that 40 murders were committed while people were out on bail and then a whole list of data on other offences. That is fine but let us going to the banking list and you will see that the old guard are still there. As Shane Ross said today on Radio 1 - the bonuses are still being paid. He was speaking in relation to a 3 m. given to the general manager Doherty AIB. This is a crime against the Irish people. On top of this we paid 66 m in bonuses on behalf of Bank of Ireland led by Richie the Pouncer. We now as a people own these fucking banks so why are we allowing this fraud to continue. Enda Kenny - the Mayo boy scout is now doing the exact thing as the last establishment i.e. nothing to stop the blatant abuse of Irish taxpayers money. We are now the outcasts of Europe and in global terms we are now officially on the radar as the true Irish banana republic.
