Sane reason she is call a woMAN! :)

Certain things like previous convictions, etc maybe should be under the umbrella but you can’t let anyone have access to intelligence, incidents etc just doesnt make sense at all, how the hell would you be able to police a state where intel is accessible via foia. Not going to happen not a hope.

not a hope in hell then the books will be exposed for the last 17 years
and the real truth exposed Ireland banking system just went public at the expense of the public

if the books are not destroyed yet the real question is who’s money was in ireland who really ran this country for the last 17 years

Well if the English are doing it!.. She is worth every penny

Sure. Let all the criminals and subversives have access to the information the Gardai have on them.

Why is NAMA allowed shield those 48 who transferred assets, presumably this is illegal and surely that makes them criminals. NAMA should check accounts in the maiden names of the wives, this seems to be a great hiding place for assets.

Wow – a brilliant idea for a functioning democracy. More, I say.

The ombudsman is right. We should have visibility about how the banks that have been nationalized are using taxpayers money.
Anglo Irish Bank officials have consistently refused to answer questions about how much taxpayers money they have used in PR and legal actions re. Quinn and crucially how much they have recouped for the taxpayer in their strategy on Quinn. I suspect the answer is one of the biggest scandals in Irish banking history and will in time emerge in legal actions after billions of euros of taxpayers money has been unnecessarily squandered.

She’s a credit to the office, and an always interesting contributor, any time I’ve heard her on air, or in writing at least.

O’ Reilly punches far above her weight, and her input should be given weighty scrutiny, in my view.

She must be the most frustrated woman in Ireland!! Can’t imagine the police copying the British police procedures. The Banks are NAMA are so close to the politicians that it makes it impossible for change to occur. Vested interests and Irish politicians determine what will or will nor change. Jesus the Healy Rea’s can hardly read never mind implement policy change.

There are still plenty of ways to keep information secret in the existing institutions and yet they want to extend to laws to those who are past masters at keeping secrets, the banks. Doomed to fail.

Two examples come to mind.

1. A department cannot supply documents that do not exist. As far as i know the Social Welfare Appeals Office does not have terms of reference and yet its supposed some form of statutory process, which has been stealing from Social Welfare Recipients.

2. Most old people would not be capable of enquiring about electronic documents and until a list of documents is supplied then they keep people in ignorance, which stops them from petitioning domestic or international courts.

The current and previous ombudsman have never addressed the issues and participate in crimes against humanity and treason by keeping the most vulnerable in ignorance.

Why is she called ombudsMAN??
