2 Years Later, and Still No Justice![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Garda Ombudsman has announced that it will begin an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Terence Wheelock and his eventual death following injuries sustained while in custody at Store Street Garda station in June. This announcement follows two years of denial and cover up by the Gardai and the political establishment. The Garda Ombudsman has announced that it will begin an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Terence Wheelock and his eventual death following injuries sustained while in custody at Store Street Garda station in June. This announcement follows two years of denial and cover up by the Gardai and the political establishment. Although Gardai claim that his injuries resulted from a suicide attempt there are many facts that throw doubt on this account. Despite custody records saying that there were no injuries on Terence’s body, photographs taken while Terence lay in a coma clearly indicate bruises and lacerations on his body. Terence had no history of depression, so why would he suddenly decide to kill himself? Clearly, these questions are important enough to warrant an independent inquiry; we cannot trust the State to investigate itself. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2This sinister event is made all the more sinister through the silence of the other the Gardai. Diddnt Mc Doughall bring in legislation banning all cops talking to the press by threatening them with a fine (15,000e I think) and whatever else you could imagine would happen to a straight cop breaking the blue wall of silence in his/her station.
Is it true that there was one Gard who spoke out and she has been moved out.
The cops who beat up some people who attended the Mayday events in 2003 got promoted.
Werent the cops in Doneygall who framed Mc Brearty for the Ritchie Barron death, and were found to have been involved in falsifying statements and signing them themselves, transfered to Tara street in Dublin??
After what they have done to Terrence Wheelock, and the way they have behaved since, surely they cannot be trusted to investigate themselves at this stage. My heart goes out to the wheelock family, I cant even imagine their suffering, especially at the hands of the state.
That is what is wrong with the force, there is culture of awarding wrongdoers in the gardai with promotoin obviously stating that this is how you progresss through the force, thus morris concluded in his findings, that insubordination and ill discipline is "endemic" in the force.
justice for terence wheelock.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
