COSGRAVE’S HEAVY GANG
Congratulations to Professor Diarmaid Ferriter for his article ‘Cosgrave’s support of the Garda Cast a long shadow.’ (Irish Times Sat, Oct 14, 2017) emphasising the role of the impartial historian to rise above historical revisionism/denialism.
No garda, to my knowledge, has ever been jailed for corruption or perjury in Ireland, to my knowledge. Then again, no garda has ever been tried for either. That’s because no garda has ever been charged- the result of no garda ever being investigated for corruption or perjury. Catch 22.
