So do I but I still don’t know what an amateur sporting organisation like the GAA could do that the police or PPS couldn’t or what questions people want them to answer? We’re talking about a master manipulator here who whether we like it or not was “cleared” in the eyes of the law. I feel like people want blood from somewhere and it doesn’t actually matter if it’s the person responsible or not as long as someone pays. That’s wrong in my opinion, the buck stops with the abuser and going after the GAA or Derry or Fermanagh and people spreading fake news takes the heat off Gallagher. The press aren’t helping, I get why Nicola spoke to them but they just want a story, they don’t care how knocking on Gallagher’s door will affect the children.
This is not exclusively a GAA problem. George Best by his own admission was an abusive and violent husband and what did we do? Hail him as a hero and name an airport after him
Ryan Giggs or should I say Ryan Giggs OBE was the manager of the Welsh National team when he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend in 2020 but he didn’t stand down until he went on trial in 2022.
Abusers are protected and victims are doubted, ridiculed and shamed. It’s a tale as old as time. A difficult situation because even if there’s a conviction, people still discredit victims. We know how wrong courts can get it and being found not guilty really does not mean innocent. Although in this particular case, it didn’t even get that far. Even if Derry did receive the email, what were they to do? As you say, master manipulator and a lot of the time, people would rather not acknowledge the awful truth.
I think she was looking for both tbh.
