Launched on 18 Dec 2013, this blog is about current affairs of both past and present, and about sharing your stories, photos, videos, and healthy outrage with opinions in the pursuit of positive change. To encourage it, I have posted parts of my journal of hope called Twenty-One Years that inspired this blog, along with articles, photos, and those of others. Bad news laced with poisonous and misleading stories is easily got somewhere else. Your views are important and welcome here. Thank you.

Barry Clifford: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking for a working/reliable computer for a mainly housebound woman. She suffers severe arthritis and on a disability allowance and cannot afford to buy one. Her old computer packed up which was literally the window to her world. That window is now firmly closed and needs a little help from a friend. If you can help, please leave a message here with your contact details and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Barry Clifford: Martin Quigley-Predator On The Prowl
Martin Quigley
What do you need today to get into prison. You
would think that after 12 previous convictions that included assault and public
order offences that that at least would get him a few days. No such luck in
Ireland. How about after that this predator then sexually assaults a teenage girl
and only gets a suspended sentence of two years. Then the very next day he is
back in court for not paying full compensation of €5000 for having previously
sexually assaulted a man, that also resulted in permanent scarring to his
victim’s head. I suppose if you call yourself a businessman you can afford to
pay the money and even not pay it because the judge then allowed Quigley more time to come
up with the money.
So, Martin Quigley is now a free man and the state and the
judge, Barry Hickey, must bear equal responsibility for what he will do next. At 48
years old, it is a good bet that Martin is betting he will never see the inside
of a prison cell as long as he has the money to buy his way out of one. The
principle of justice has been completely lost in this case and this predator’s
history. It also sends a message to sexual assault victims that, at least in
Tralee in Co. Kerry, do not expect justice at their courts.
