Come to think of it only middle aged women seemed to joke. I've NO recollection of men joking about Shine. I never did either afterwards.

Doctors in Ireland R paid so much by the taxpayer that they will go to extremes to cover for their deviant and criminal colleagues in order to retain these payments which in many cases R sums in excess of €500,000.00. This is both a current and a historical fact. Know this BOCK, it’s still happening because the arrogance of the ‘Doctors’ prevails.

The entire hospital seems to be infected with contempt for its patients. Perhaps it's the legacy of the nuns who used to run it.

NEARLY 10 years after allegations of indecent assault were first made against him, 72- year-old Michael Shine walked out of Dundalk Circuit Criminal Court as a free man yesterday and with a smile on his face. He was accompanied by gardai as he left the courtroom and walked past visibly upset complainants and their families to a waiting taxi.

Shiner could take on the Fitness to Practise Committee and the IMO like the doctor in Cork did, and that would take years, regardless of the outcome. In the meantime a stay would be put on the civil actions, so Shiner's lawyers would get an idea of how much enemy fire is potentially out there. the insurers would use the free time to do a bit of settling, on the basis of a little now is better than nothing in ten year's time, etc. It's how the game is played in a constitutional common law country with a presumption of innocence and adversarial litigation.

The Brotherhood of silence reign supreme, and the rest are too scared to speak out. After all, no more than that filthy sack of shit and wouldbe Josef Mengele Neary, I'm sure Shine was a respected member of the community and, as the good doctor orgasm said, 'above reproach'. Who would have believed them? A question worth posing (perhaps) is is the past indicitive of the present. Are there, at this very moment, those who are to afraid to blow the whistle?

People didnt ask questions because were generally uneducated and the educated classes such as doctors and clergy were above reproach. You didnt ask questions. If you needed a limb off it was for your own good. No second opinions. It was indemic in the Ireland of the time.
