Some years ago, we had a tragic murder at Grange Gorman hospital of two innocent women. It was one of the most horrific murders in the history of the State. Another horrific point about it is the investigation of the Garda Siochana.

Dean Lyon was a young drug addict. Depressive, suicidal and now in hindsight Dean had a walter mitty state of mind as a result of drugs. Yet Gardai had him incarcerated for 9 months in Mountjoy prison. Within a few weeks, they knew their mistake but a junior member within their ranks pushed the issue. Some time later, Dean Lyons, took his own life in London.

Without elaborating further, Timor-Leste presents an extremely volatile situation as greedy interests, primarily America via its ‘World’ Bank and Australia-New Zealand acting as the military arm, poise themselves to exploit the impoverished people and nation of Timor-Leste. read full story / add a comment
