Criminality In The Irish Courts

This Report has been produced for the purposes of demonstrating to 'all interested parties' the shocking levels of endemic criminality and corruption ongoing within the Irish justice system. Over a period of several years, the Integrity Ireland Association has compiled a detailed database of sworn complaints by residents of the Irish State containing incontestable evidence and proofs of deliberate, systemic, State-sponsored criminality and corruption by a broad range of Irish officials and office holders in explicit, repeat violation of Common Law and of the Irish Constitution; in breach of European Community Law; in contravention of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFREU); and in open violation of internationally-recognized and agreed protocols and principles that relate to the individual's fundamental right to access justice. In particular, the Irish State appears determined NOT to allow any otherwise-legitimate cases to progress outside of the domestic jurisdiction to the European Courts, and is achieving this illicit objective through the deliberate criminal misuse and abuse of due process; through systemic obstructionism / concealing of information / refusing to engage / 'stonewalling' and documentary frauds; and is thereby denying effective access to justice. In doing so, the Irish State is not only making a nonsense and a farce of the Irish Constitution and the CFREU, but is jeopardising its membership of the European Union inasmuch as it is no longer in compliance with the Copenhagen Protocols which require that each current or prospective EU member State has, "a properly-functioning justice system" that respects, and aligns with the requirements of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). In absolute frustration at the sheer depth and breadth of the corruption, cronyism and criminality being foisted on the Irish public with brass-necked impunity by a hierarchy of hypocrites; a cabal of connected insiders, schemers, fraudsters and grovelling lackeys; by legal tricksters, pompous and deceitful who, in their wretched scramble for 'worldly success' have abandoned all but the hollow pretence of morality, and who have cravenly prostituted themselves, most royally, for their own personal slice of the poisonous, State-sponsored pie; where 'anything goes' as long as there is profit and reward in it despite the damage and distress being caused to trusting, innocent others; and in light of the now-indisputable fact that the whole ridiculous 'truth and justice' carnival in Ireland is no more than an elaborate scam and a pretence - a sordid insider's joke - whereby career liars and moral deviants hijack the mechanisms of justice, the levers of political power and the apparatus of the State so as to serve an overarching, repugnant agenda; to foster and protect an extraordinarily corrupt status quo whilst suppressing the truth and controlling the narrative so as to continue to mislead and deceive all objective observers. Given that all efforts to secure remedies via the criminal justice system have now been exhausted, this Report is being published in alignment with the reporting obligations of the Criminal Justice Act 2011 which requires citizens to report offences, "..where there is prima facie evidence of the commission of a relevant offence". Whilst general reference is made to many historical or ongoing cases, for practical reasons, the contents of this Report refer to only one such extended case - albeit encompassing many of the criminal violations that are common to all. This publication is referenced in the founding documents of The Peoples' Tribunal of Ireland.

Comprehensive overview of the Irish criminal justice system, its current problems and its vision for the future. Collection of essays by major office-holders, experienced practitioners, leading academics, legal scholars, sociologists, psychologists, philosophers and educationalists.

This book provides an overview of the entire process of criminal justice in Ireland, during the period. An examination of the criminal law and its implementation is followed by a study of the procedures and personnel of the courts. Judges and magistrates are considered along with village constables and their charges. There is also an analysis of crime as recorded by the courts. Offences of theft, murder, rape and riot are taken alongside pilfering and petty assaults. Finally the work examines the ways in which the legal system actually functioned and the role of the law in Irish society. Fundamental questions are asked and answered concerning the status of the law and the ways in which it was perceived by the people. This book offers new insight into the workings of eighteenth-century society. In doing so it challenges many of the preconceptions held by historians and the public alike.

The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty has been described as the 'golden thread' running through the web of English criminal law and a "fundamental postulate" of Irish criminal law which enjoys constitutional protection. Reflecting on the bail laws in the O'Callaghan case, Walsh J. described the presumption as a 'very real thing and not simply a procedural rule taking effect only at the trial'. The purpose of this book is to consider whether the reality matches the rhetoric surrounding this central precept of our criminal law and to consider its efficacy in the light of recent or proposed legislative innovations. Considerable space is devoted to the anti-crime package introduced by the government in the period of heightened concern about crime which followed the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin. Described by the Bar Council as "the most radical single package of alterations to Irish criminal law and procedure ever put together, " the effect of the package was an amendment of the bail laws and the introduction of preventative detention; a curtailment of the right to silence for those charged with serious drugs offences and the introduction of a novel civil forfeiture process to facilitate the seizure of the proceeds of crime, a development which arguably circumvents the presumption. Given these developments, the question posed in the book is whether we can lay claim to a presumption that is more than merely theoretical or illusory.

Ireland's justice system is in moral crisis. Rampant nepotism, cronyism and other forms of corruption have ensured that many who inhabit the corridors of power are getting away with serious and repeated wrongdoing with apparent impunity. It remains an open secret here in Ireland that if the perpetrators of crime are in any way 'connected' or in the pay of the State, that our justice system is far more likely to throw up a wall of protection and denials around them - than to expose and prosecute them. This is where this little book comes in. This book details a free and simple legal process whereby you or I can take immediate and effective action against any other person who commits a crime against us. And if that other person happens to be a Garda, a lawyer, an 'Officer of the Court' or a Government Minister - well, all the more reason perhaps to take firm and immediate action - right? This latest Integrity Ireland publication focuses on the little-known but long-established Common Informer legislation and how the ordinary citizen can prosecute others without having to rely on the Gardai or the Office of the DPP. YOU can prosecute ANYONE as long as you have proof of a criminal offence. You do NOT need to go to the Gardai. You do NOT need a solicitor or a barrister. And best of all, the process is free! This book explains all you need to know, including a breakdown of recent Supreme Court rulings and a step-by-step explanation of the process, as well as all those things you need to watch out for as 'they' do their utmost to deny us justice. This little book - and the process it explains - could well prove to be the proverbial 'Achilles heel' of a very unjust, justice system."

As the title suggests; this is the formal application to the Irish Government and to EU oversight bodies - after many years of being unlawfully stonewalled and ignored - for a Public Enquiry into indisputable and documented proofs of serious, repeat criminal activity by 'Irish officials and office holders' - and of the culture of institutionalis
