Billy Keogh – Irish Justice Vs. Natural Justice...

[Quarterpoundher]

Quarterpoundher you've got me in fits of laughter now. That story about the fisheries people chasing you,I presume along the banks of the Blackwater, is just hilarious.

By the Duke, I take it you're refering to my good friend, his lordship, the Duke of Devonshire beyond in Lismore Castle. You're a lucky man you did'nt get injured. I believe the Duke, like all his class, is a dab-hand with a shot-gun, and loves nothing better than to bag a few peasants..........sorry I meant pheasants before breakfast.

The whole thing reads like something out of the Irish RM. Reminds me of the good old days in Dublin, when for two and six you could get yourself a nice young hure up in Monto. Mind you, all the girls were Irish back then; mostly fine strappin agricultural women up from the country....beef to the heel and all that. If you asked for extras, the reply would have been - "Wa de ya want me sister as well luv ?". The only extras you were likely to get were a big feed of coddle and one or two of her Woodbines if she really liked you. And the peelers were never a problem, sure half the DMP were throwing the leg over aswell.

But unfortunately times change. Most people today have never even of Monto or Montgomery Street and could'nt tell you where it was located. Two and six would also be a complete mystery and people would be shocked to learn how much that bought you back then. And of course today the profession is called Escorting.

All progress I suppose Quarterpoundher. But I can tell you this, the man who invents a time machine, will make himself an absolute fortune. Anyway, I off to 1916 now; there's a few lads down in the GPO causin a minor disturbance and we've got to go out on duty.
Evening all.

Well Carlo’s,this was just the 1990’s and was not so much the Irish RM and more The Duke’s of Hazzard (Without the Car’s) great fun, had to give it up as the heart was willing but the leg’s were not, You make it sound like The Duke himself was patrolling, alas no as the Taxpayers of Ireland are paying for that issue to be taken care of for him. So what was achieved in 1916 is in doubt as we are not a full Republic if we are not in control of all of our territorial Waters. Tap in Youghal Bay and Devonshire into google and you’ll see yourself. So maybe we’ll have to take a pop a the GPO again soon, see you there LOL. Funny you should mention them liking to shoot Pheasant’s as I did have a run in with Lord Waterford himself once on his Estate in Portlaw when he was doing just that.

Best Regards.

I'm not going to get into whether or not Billy Keough is guilty but the facts are this, he was found guilty and his sentence is was nothing more than a slap on the wrist for such a horrible crime .............. I believe that is the point Quarterpondher is making and he is correct in my opinion.

The matter of an individual being convicted of a crime he is innocent of is another story completely and yes you are right Langer, that does also happen for various reasons on this island.
