Tonight my thoughts are with the brave victims who brought this evil Judge to court and had him convicted by a Jury. O’Brien, the paedophile, up to the very end denied the charges against him. Helen McEntee may say her thoughts are with the victims but that is just Politics, no more no less. Let me tonight ask some valid questions: How did O’Brien walk away from teaching, after abusing his students, and in some cases, Grooming them? Then to study law and then get an appointment to be State Solicitor and then an appointment to the District court and from the District Court to the Circuit court, all approved by the Cabinet of the day in Government buildings? The Tipperary Co. Council praised him to the high Heavens stating he would be a great addition to the courts and that he would be a Fine Judge. I always thought any legal solicitors had to be vetted thoroughly before their appointment to the Bench so there are a lot of people out there tonight who need to have the courage to come forward and tell the Truth. This is not just for the victims but for credibility of all Judges who preside on the Bench across the entire Island of Ireland. Something went terribly wrong here and a darker force protected this paedophile for almost 30 years. One final question: Was there a paedophile ring (not unlike Kincora) working in the dark corridors of power which protected O’Brien? My thoughts are with the victims tonight; their bravery is outstanding.
