Dublin Circuit Criminal Court
Yesterday, at the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, it was revealed that the DPP [Claire Loftus] will not proceed with a case against water meter installer Paul Haughey, who was accused of being involved in an alleged €9million per year diesel laundering operation.
Mr Haughey has a three-year contract with Dublin City Council to install water meters.
Mr Haughey, 35, was charged last year with “removing or attempting to remove a prescribed marker from a mineral oil without the consent of the Revenue Commissioners” on September 1, 2011.
“A garda alleged at his bail hearing that Mr Haughey, of Dundrum Road, Tassagh, Co Armagh was caught “red-handed” standing on a tanker containing 30,000 litres of diesel, with a potential loss to the exchequer of €15,000. In a related search that day 110,000 litres of diesel was found in a yard, representing a potential €55,000 loss to the State. Gardaí alleged the yard had a capacity to produce 18 million litres of fuel per annum, with a total possible loss to the exchequer of €9 million.”
“Judge Patricia Ryan agreed to strike out the charge and adjourned the matter until April 24th next, when an application for costs will be heard. No reason was given for the strike-out.”
There you go now.

Marie O’Connor, chair of the Survivors of Symphysiotomy, with members of her group and supporters outside the Department of the Taoiseach in September 2014
Paul Cullen, in the Irish Times, is reporting that 53 women, who sought €150,000 compensation under the State redress scheme for women who had a symphysiotomy, have been told they won’t receive the money as it “was established they did not undergo the procedure”.
Mr Cullen also reports that retired judge Maureen Harding Clark, who has been assessing the claims, has warned that she might set a deadline for the furnishing of records “as ‘the scheme does not have an unlimited life’”.
Meanwhile, Mr Cullen reports:
“[Ms Clark] said she understood some women have been unable to establish their belief they had a symphysiotomy because their records are not readily available.”
…
“Survivors of Symphysiotomy, a group representing women who had the procedure, said the scheme sets an “impossible” level of proof.”
…
“One woman was asked for receipts for incontinence pads she bought in the 1950s, [Marie] O’Connor claimed.”
Hmmm.
