Mr Kenny is silent on rape: where refugees are concerned




Ireland has the worst record in the EU for admitting refugees.  UN authorities have expressed concern that victims of rape, torture, and other abuses are being wrongly refused asylum in Ireland.  Representatives of Taoiseach Kenny and his then-Minister Shatter scoffed at the UN's criticism. Nothing changed.

An outstanding Complaint of corruption in Superior Courts judges concerns the cover-up of thousands of reports of rape, torture, and war crimes, made by applicants for asylum, in the Republic of Ireland.  ( www.refugeejustice.blogspot.ie/2009/02/to-dail-na-heireann-complaint-against.html )


Mr Kenny is well-informed about this Complaint. In response to efforts to seek a hearing in these allegations, his Minister Alan Shatter illegally exiled the Plaintiff: with intent to suppress evidence and prevent a fair hearing.

Mr Kenny and his new Justice Minister have been repeatedly contacted, asking when will these wrongs be corrected?

His response has been to let the Plaintiff rot in destitution, in hiding: silenced and disabled by the illegal actions of his discredited Minister Shatter.

When asked about this in the Dail, Mr Kenny and his ministers say they “can't discuss individual cases or matters for the courts.

A rule which he has conspicuously broken: apparently only where party-politics can be served.

Yet Ireland's national Constitution Article 35.4 expressly designates complaints against Superior Courts judges as the responsibility of the Dail and Seanad.

When will this Dail and Seanad act on corruption allegations against Superior Courts judges? When will it act to protect Plaintiff(s) from retaliatory actions by corrupt elements in the Justice Ministry? How many cases of risk to human life will miscarry while they procrastinate?

Rape of civilians as a weapon in conflicts, and in socio-political persecutions:
