[Sergeant Maurice McCabe and Mary Lynch]

Mary Lynch

 

A letter sent by Sgt Maurice McCabe to Jon Leeman, of the GSOC [Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission], on October 27, 2011, after GSOC decided to discontinue its investigation into complaints made by Mary Lynch and to refer the case back to the Garda Commissioner..

Mary Lynch was violently assaulted by Jerry McGrath who was released on bail before Ms Lynch had made a statement.

McGrath went on and attempted to abduct a five-year-old girl and received bail again. He went on to kill Sylvia Roche Kelly in December 2007.

Yesterday, Philip Ryan, in the Sunday Independent, reported that garda colleagues attempted to blame Sgt McCabe for the release of McGrath from custody following the attack on Ms Lynch.

He also reported that Ms Lynch has made fresh complaints to GSOC, and GSOC is now undergoing a new inquiry into the release of Jerry McGrath on bail after his assault on Ms Lynch.

“The Save Moore Street campaign say that these building are of historic value to Dublin and should not be knocked down. The Paris Bakery which occupies No.18 on lower ground floor has until June to find new premises where they say 70 jobs will be lost.”

The road-ready prototype C-01 – Lotus Cars’ first ever motorcycle – designed by Daniel Simon, who coincidentally (or not) designed the light cycles for Tron: Legacy.

Powered by a V Twin engine, the C-01 has a frame made from carbon fiber, titanium and aerospace grade steel.

Actual production of the bike will begin with a limited run of 100 of these handsome hogs, decked out in various Lotus racing liveries.
