Bailey taunts French… cutting a most unsympathetic character. Irrespective of his annoyance, he could have a little empathy for the family devastated by this murder. As for his theory that a French hitman came all the way to Schull armed with nothing more than a brick to carry out the job, not exactly compelling.
Steph Pinker
Lilly, you seem to have an interest in this case – beyond most others, particularly based on some of your comments.

Except, you have a clsim from the shopkeeper that she saw a strange middle eastern looking man in a long black coat wearing a beret watching and then following Du Plantier that day, and another sighting near the turn off for her home, according to Sheridan’s documentary. The husband also didn’t travel to Ireland (avoid questioning perhaps) after the death. He also knew she had an affair with another Frenchman and separation and divorce looked to be on the cards. Not long after her death, he married I think it was his fourth wife, an even younger again attractive blonde. The guy was connected to powerful figures like Chirac. Worth investigating as there is clear motive and that mystery man following her that day could quite easily have been an Algerian professional hitman for all we know. Also, blood on the house door handle, no prints, means gloves. Gloves means no scratches on the hands. The case against Bailey simply doesn’t have any actual evidence so other possibilities should be considered at least.
Lilly
Yes, I agree, it should definitely be considered. Plus the husband was reportedly having an affair and in financial difficulty. I haven’t seen Sheridan’s documentary, watched episode 1 of the Netflix one last night. Still it seems unlikely that a hit man would be so ill prepared.
Cian
Unless the hit man was contracted to make it look messy and unprofessional – was it a crazy local?
If she had been executed professionally it would have asked – who gains from her death.
(but I have no knowledge on this topic! :)
Lilly
Good point. I didn’t think of that.
Papi
There was hash given to the local dealer to say certain things and other “witnesses” have since said they were told what to say by the cops. The gate with blood on it went missing out of evidence, the whole thing is fishy and reeks of cover up/bungled investigation.
Lilly
Yup. It looks as if justice will never be done.

I fail to see where there was a third wave, I was always a whizz at numbers and using my thumbs, fingers and toes I have counted 2 (two) waves. How can we have a fourth if there wasn’t a third?
Looks like the tax jig is up by 2023, I thought the deal was to be done by the G20 in July, but the OECD (130 minus 9 vs. 20, impressive) in Paris got there first. I expect the MNC’s will no longer be so allured by the highly educated English speaking workforce, their impeccable hygiene, smart fashion sense, punctuality and great sense of humour. What will become of all that office space and the loans that financed its construction? I suppose the devil is as yet in the details. It’s interesting that Donohoe is now committed to talking in double-speak, ‘we were always committed to tax reform’.

I see we are being prepared for the tax cave-in. The Indo informs us in the headline that Daffy won’t sign up, yet we read further down that he is fully committed to ‘the process’. Likewise The Times. Likewise The Examiner.
Part of ‘the process’ is signing up to a minimum of 15%.
Once he does ‘officially’ cave in, housing crisis solved.

The thing I don’t understand is, I was under the impression that the US corporations who have been evading tax with regards to Ireland, that they were using a US tax loophole designed by the super wealthy. If the USA are closing those tax loopholes in their system, so that these corporations will no longer get away with almost zero tax paid, how can Ireland decide what tax US corporations pay?
Ouch
Who is Daffy, or you making fun of someone because of a speech impediment?

South China Morning Post has lovely piece on brave little Ireland,and would you look,at the company Pascal is keeping.
‘The nine countries that did not sign were the low-tax European Union members Ireland, Estonia and Hungary as well as Peru, Barbados, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Kenya.‘
The IT should just fire it’s few remaking useless hacks (see other post),copy and paste this.
‘Ireland has said it wants any deal to allow small countries to use tax competition as a lever to compensate for the natural advantages enjoyed by larger countries in attracting jobs and investments. Critics say low-tax countries like Ireland enjoy a disproportionate share’
-Conspicuously absent from the accord is Ireland, which has resisted a 15 percent minimum tax as it is reluctant to lose its status as a major tax haven in Europe
Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said in a statement that Ireland would remain engaged in the negotiations and would seek a “comprehensive, sustainable and equitable agreement.”
Breezy Caribbean island tax havens also declined to sign on, –
“Ireland” will not sign the tax deal spouts several headlines.
How dare they besmirch the name of Ireland and associate all of its citizens with the disgusting tax dodging Fine Gael and Fianna Fail who have robbed the country of revenue for decades!
Johnny
….have not followed this but two pieces in IT on it,is this possible amid collapsing prices elsewhere ?
‘Department of Agriculture delays in processing licences needed to cut and plant trees, and lay roads to transport logs, have left the Republic short of timber needed to build new homes.’
‘A crisis in supplies of timber, has left the Republic short of timber needed to build new homes, industry figures warn. Barry O’Halloran reports.‘
Ireland’s “tax dodging” doesn’t rob Ireland of any taxes.
It allows companies to route there revenues from other countries here and pay no tax. The other countries lose out. e..g the €15bn Apple Tax wasn’t generated on sales of Irish phones/computers… it was European sales. (and if the courts happen to find against Apple and they have to pay up that 15bn won’t stay in Ireland)
Note: I don’t approve of the way Ireland (or other countries) are used to dodge taxes and want it stopped.
