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.

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.

Concern for crime victims has been a growing political issue in improving the legitimacy and success of the criminal justice system through the rhetoric of rights. Since the 1970s there have been numerous reforms and policy documents produced to enhance victims’ satisfaction in the criminal justice system. The Republic of Ireland has seen a sea-change in more recent years from a focus on services for victims to a greater emphasis on procedural rights. The purpose of this book is to chart these reforms against the backdrop of wider political and regional changes emanating from the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, and to critically examine whether the position of crime victims has actually ameliorated. The book discusses the historical and theoretical concern for crime victims in the criminal justice system, examins the variety of forms of legal and service provision inclusion, amd concludes by analysing the various needs of victims which continue to be unmet.

Ireland's crime scene has experienced a drastic disimprovement. The political establishment and state institutions, such as the police, the courts, and the penal system, have failed to rise to the challenge. Unrelenting media focus on the growth of crime and violence in Irish society has helped generate a climate of exaggerated public fear, promoting a 'get tough' political agenda.2This book dicusses the multiple crises in the social and criminal justice system responses to crime and its causes. It provides an in-depth examination of:22* The 'hardline' consensus between politicians, the media and the 'moral majority' resulting in draconian legislation and incursions on traditional civil liberties2* Violent crime2* Drug-related crime2* Sexual offending, including child sexual abuse2* Demoralisation in the suggested structural and policy changes2* Malaise in the Garda Siochana, the Irish national police force, and suggested structural and policy changes22* The 'culture of non-accountability' in Irish public life

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.

This book explores the emergence of a new architecture of corporate enforcement in Ireland. It is demonstrated that the State has transitioned from one contradictory model of corporate enforcement to another. Traditionally, the State invoked its most powerful weapon of state censure, the criminal law, but was remarkably lenient in practice because the law was not enforced. The contemporary model is much more reliant on cooperative measures and civil orders, but also contains remarkably punitive and instrumental measures to surmount the difficulties of proving guilt in criminal cases. Though corporate and financial regulation has become an area of significant interest for academics, researchers and those with an interest in corporate affairs, this sudden surge of interest lacks a tradition of scholarship or any deep empirical and contextual analysis in Ireland. This book provides that foundation. It is likely to stimulate an extensive conversation on corporate regulation and governance in Ireland. It is also likely to provide a platform for researchers further afield with an interest in comparative study with Ireland.

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."
