Garda whistleblower John Wilson often said the biggest criminal gang in Ireland is An Garda Siochana. He had 30 years of service in the force and knew what he was talking about. He also used to remark that as soon as he broke his silence about corruption in the force, he was a marked man and his career was over. Every Garda whistleblower since has been subjected to the same disgusting treatment. Detective Eve Doherty was punished for trying to expose cocaine use in the office of the public prosecutor - the DPP. She was thrown into prison for ‘harassment.’ That’s how Ireland works. I’ve experienced the same abuse firsthand as a journalist exposing state corruption.
I was the first reporter to support Garda Wilson and his colleague Sgt Maurice McCabe in their efforts to expose the abuse of motoring laws by guards, judges, state solicitors and journalists in Ireland. My then-editor Stephen Rae was ordered to end my 20-year career at the Irish Independent, the final decade of which had been spent writing exposés of corruption in the force and bringing to light murders and other crimes that had been covered up by the Irish police.
This is the garda operative who sacked me, protecting corrupt officers instead of exposing them, which is our job as journalists. We subsequently learned that Stephen Rae too was abusing the law for his own personal gain and in the pockets of bent cops. That is now the norm for the Irish media.
More than a decade on, everything I warned the public about has come to pass and the Gardai now have the reputation of being the most corrupt force in Europe if not the world. This is why they run PR stunts like the Kinahan one in a desperate effort to claw back public confidence in them, which is on the floor.
The gardai don’t arrest serious criminals or drug dealers: they create, direct and own them. They invented and run gangland. They are the ones who are flooding this tiny island with drugs. They are the drug trade. They are the reason your teenager will be offered coke or dope tonight and may end up going home full of pints to hang himself or fall to his death from a balcony, as happened in a drug-infested rural town a few days ago. After that, your life will be destroyed and it will be the fault of the gardai.
I do sample tests with Irish people every day about their feelings towards the guards, especially among young people. I was recently in a café where a gang of fat fluorescents were sitting around wasting public money. My stomach turned as it always does when I see them because I know what they are capable of, and I said to the waitress something to that effect. She immediately agreed. ‘I don’t think anyone would argue with that.’ That attitude is now widespread among the public.
The guards became universally despised during the Covid when their brutal thuggery was put on full display for all to see, as they bullied and harassed anyone and everyone going about their business simply because they were going about their business. When the scamdemic ended, most sentient Irish people were left with the sickening feeling that we now live in a rogue police state with a crooked judiciary and lapdog media. And with each passing day, that toxic triad has become more and more lawless, deviant and dangerous.
If you buy a word of what you’re being told in the presstitute media about the Kinahan case, you’re a sucker and to be honest, very few people seem to. The Gardai do not bring serious criminals to justice. They protect them along with the courts and their bought-off media. We only have to look at the 2013 murder of Detective Adrian Donohoe to know that. They used drug addicts and dealers to frame an innocent man to protect their killers of their own colleague. How low can a police force go? They had to do this because his murder was an inside job. Donohoe was killed by his own.
Indeed, in this case, we have clear proof of a garda operative involved in the framing of Aaron Brady actually owning an airfield in Longford that imports vast quantities of cocaine into Ireland. Needless to say, Garda Ed McGoey was never prosecuted for this but the finger of blame was pointed at the usual scapegoats, the Kinahans. Go figure.
The gardai have to manufacture entities like Daniel Kinahan in order to take the spotlight off themselves but go into any working class community in Ireland and you will be told the guards are the main dealers and are working hand in hand with drug addicts who turn to dealing to support their vile habit. Whether Kinahan is on in the act or is involved in crime is unknown and irrelevant because the whole thing is nothing more than a show. The gardai only go after their enemies, people unwilling to do corrupt deals with them, criminals who refuse to give them a cut from their wicked trade.
I am reminded of the case of Shane O’Farrell (23) which I covered extensively after his murder in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan in 2011. Shane was a bright and dedicated law student who was mown down in a hit-and-run by a Lithuanian drug-dealer well-known to the guards. It later emerged that the guards had a habit of stopping this individual on the road but always flagging him on, even though his dealing was no secret. They had even stopped him while in possession of heroin in the days before Shane’s death but refused to take him off the roads. The only reason they engaged with this individual is because they were in his pay and taking a cut from his criminal trade.
In the last week, there was a horrific death of a young man in Cavan, a county riddled with drugs where open dealing goes on in every town and village facilitated and organised by the guards. Despite widespread rumours that drugs were involved, the guards have said there was nothing suspicious about his death. They did the same with Diego Gilsenan - whose death was linked to drugs - and try to silence and criminalise me for speaking out about it - the only journalist willing to shine a light on this horrendous case.
When they tried to stitch up Ian Bailey, they used criminals and drug dealers to make false statements against him. You can read my investigation on that cover-up on www.gemmaodoherty.com.
The Kinahan show trial and the pathetic sensational coverage of that psyop reveals a desperation on the part of the guards and press. They know the game is up, that the public are on to them. Most Irish people believe they no longer hold a grain of moral authority and are no better than their fictional crime bosses they seek to castigate. The public see through their lies. They understand the reality on the ground. And I will continue to remind those who don’t that when their child’s life is wiped out by drugs, the finger of blame should be pointed directly at the ones who come to their door to inform them of the news. Every single garda now should be suspected of being a cokehead, given the widespread use of drugs in the force, their erratic, violent and paranoid behaviour and the fact that so many are involved in the drugs trade.
Covid proved there are no good guards left. Only rotten bullies and cowards who stand idly by and say nothing. Silence is compliance. When the public do the same, they get the police force they deserve.
