    I for one won't sleep any less soundly after August 11th. I believe the Gardai will carefully monitor this man.

    It's our laws that have let us down here, okay, the guy served his sentence, but during that time, he refused to engage with professionals and hasn't undergone any kind of rehabilitation. As with any criminal, especially the murderous/sexual predator kind, this should form part of their sentence. This guy is going to emerge from prison with the exact same mindset as he entered it, scary.

    But as I've said above, I don't think this animal will get much chance to harm anyone again.

    I'm pretty sure a guy called Michael Murphy is serving time for her murder. He followed her from a building site he was working on when she walked by on her way to Newgrange.

    So you wouldn't show restraint if you ran into this alleged "serial killer" on the street , but in your earlier post you seemed happy that Ireland had a srial killer worth his salt.

    You confuse me

    this guy wanted help... but there was none, how bad is our system!

    seriously in this day and age there is no program for sex offenders to maybe get to the source of why they offend.. and maybe stop them committing further offences....

    I've always thought putting them together in the one area of prison isn't such a good idea... I imagine they learn from each other!

    From what I've read about the man (in the loosest sense of the word), he outright refused any kind of help.

    We actually do have a rehabilitation project, although woefully inadequate. And this seems to be elective, so what little help we can offer these individuals may or may not be taken up by the offender. It surely begs the question, why do we present it as an option. In other countries, it would form a part of the sentencing and indeed the offender can be remanded for longer if it is shown that they have not been reformed sufficiently.

    With regard to Larry Murphy and surveillance, the Gardai (and this came from an official spokesperson) said that he will be monitored at all times. I'm choosing to believe this source rather than the one you've quoted above. If the Gardai can keep known gangland criminals alive and protected I'm sure they can keep this guy pinned down.

    Thomas Callan from Shanmullagh in Carrickmacross is due out next year too, maybe he's out already. He received 10yrs in 2001 for the abduction(in his car boot), sexual assault and attempted rape of a 17yr old girl and attempted abduction of a 14yr old. He was only 21 at the time so if he serves full term and is released next year he'll only be 31 and bursting to reoffend:(.

    Rabble rabble. How the hell do you know what this guy is going to be bursting to do when he gets out?

    Sex offenders usually find if hard to control their urges especially after being restrained. Hopefully this man will be different.

    I'm not one for kneejerk rabble-rousing/scaremongering/hysteria, but I think it's fair to feel concern re this guy.

    yeah thats right actually

    :confused: i could have sworn the brother said he hadnt seen him since 95

    he definitely said he asked him if he had any connection to the other missing women, and that larry said no.

    will watch the clip again and listen more carefully!
    I think you may be wrong. He was still his brother, and as horrific as the crime was, he remained a brother until it became clear that he wasn't telling him everything and he wasn't showing any remorse, then he never spoke to him again. he mentioned there was "rumours" of him making arrrangement to meet Larry recently, but they were lies.

    He was mentioned last night on the TV3 programme about the disappearances of the three women in the Kildare-Wicklow area in the 90s; McCarrick, Dullard and Jacob.

    Now, how the hell would this guy ever get a fair trial if he were ever to be charged. The programme last night was a little OTT in their views on him
    and these women. We all know how sensitive the justice system can be. Plenty of cases have been thrown out
    for over exposure and leaks etc.

    BTW, the guy is depraved. How the hell did this guy get 10 years for so for such a depraved and vicious crime? He attempted to murder that woman, battered her, raped her several times and has destroyed her life.

    Honest? If this guy was to be moved into your estate, would you make a conscious decision to kill him? I think I would. I mean, married and with a wife and family, could you really take the risk that this menace could rape and murder your loved ones? Pure self preservation would be my justification.

    I'd take my punishment. I'd rather be alive, my loved ones alive and well, than forever worrying about this animal. My defence: Simple, it was either he died or I and my loved ones lived in fear and were potential murder victims.

    Edit: He received 14 years. Ah, "good behaviour" got him out early......

    Larry Murphy the rapist who attepted to murder his victim in the Dublin mountains in 2000 but for a couple of hunters who interupted him is to be let free on our streets on the 11th of August after serving 10 years of a 15 year sentence.

    Yet again we are failed by the system as it is only a matter of time before this animal strikes again and somebodys mother, wife, girlfriend, sister will be his next innocent victim.

    Very scary and sad.

    I have a quick question...

    What are the laws regarding someone like Murphy leaving Ireland once he is released?
    And if he did leave Ireland to, for example Spain, would the police there be informed and would he have the same monitoring he would get from the gardai here, only abroad?
