Politician issues stark warning about Ireland's most evil criminals
The most evil people in the country will get away with murder and the most hideous of crimes if Ireland doesn't keep the Special Criminal Court, a veteran TD has warned.He said; "If we look at criminality and the fear and loathing of people who carry out the most evil crimes in our society, many of them were brought before the Special Criminal Court.
"The list goes on and on. Jonathan Dowdall who featured in the Gerry Hutch trial was convicted not once but twice by the Special Criminal Court." Deputy O'Dowd claimed the question for Sinn Fein when legislation on the Special Criminal Court comes before the Dail is that it has never supported it but abstained.
He added; "If Deputy Mary Lou McDonald is in government what will happen to the Special Criminal Court and the other Jonathan Dowdalls who are out there? "What will happen to the juries that could very well be intimidated by people who are brought before the court and convicted? That is a fundamental and real question for her to answer."
