Inspector refuses to become a Whistleblower

On Wednesday , 14 September, an ill Kevin Tracey continued his protest outside the Houses of Parliament.

Amid a tumultuous setting of protest upon protest on the opening day of the Dáil, Kevin Tracey sat, often hidden by the multitude, protesting against the multiple malicious summonses issued by the State that have made his life a hell for the past eleven years.

Having failed so far to get a fair deal from the Irish courts he has taken his protest to the gates of Dáil Éireann, though ill and under doctor's orders.

Outside the Dáil he spoke to the Navan miners, Cllr Philip Cantwell, Joan Collins TD, Richard Boyd Barrett TD, Mary Mitchell O'Connor TD and many fellow protestors who expressed shock and solidarity.

Inspector John Keenan of Pearse Street again appeared on the scene and as I pointed to Kevin's poster, I asked him (the Inspector) to become a whistleblower in the case.

The inspector at first denied knowledge but I reminded him that he had visited Kevin's house to apologise for Garda behaviour. Although accepting this, he said that he did not agree with Kevin's version of events. But when I told him that I knew too much of the case in and outside of the courts for him to fool me, he withdrew.

It looked, from his attitude, that he would not become a whistleblower.
