    Back a few days, getting his new passport 'cos he lost his other one in Spain.
    Hope he's sent packing again soon.

    Sinead Ryan: Fast-track evil rapist Murphy's passport to get him out of here
    By Sinead Ryan
    Monday May 30 2011

    My heart did a nervous flip when I heard that notorious rapist Larry Murphy was spotted back in Ireland at the weekend. What the hell is he doing here, I wondered? We had been assured he was in Spain, Belgium, France -- actually couldn't care less as long as it was Somewhere Else.

    This excuse for a human being was, as it turns out, just back in the country to apply for a passport after his own was lost.

    Well, as someone who spent months last year trying to get a passport during the lengthy strike in Molesworth Street, let me give a message loud and clear to all passport office workers: drop what you're doing and get this man's application sorted. I, for one, don't mind waiting on mine while it's being done.

    In fact, can we jump him up the queue in no uncertain terms, and process the passport today?

    Honestly -- let him be escorted in, right ahead of everyone else, given the first number out of the machine and get the highest level official working on it pronto. That way with a bit of luck, he'll hop on the first plane and be gone again -- hopefully forever.

    The convicted rapist, who is also a suspect in the disappearance of women all over the south east in the 1990s, is not someone any of us want living here.

    Nor do we want the daily fear of Larry-spotting that went on like a national sport after he was released last August.

    Anyone who looked remotely like him caused panic in the environs, and his family -- who are not responsible for his actions -- repeatedly had to assure everyone that he wasn't there and that they didn't know where he was.

    Every day there were internet boards and gossip about where Murphy was staying and it had got to the stage where people were afraid to go out. Well, I'm sick of that and don't want it to start up again.

    The gardai assure us that for this brief trip they are keeping tabs on him all the time while he's here, but that still makes me feel afraid: after all, it means they know just how dangerous he is and are having none of this, "He's done his time, leave him alone", nonsense.

    Selfish

    It means they know they can't leave him alone even for a minute. Well, thanks guys, we know you're absolutely doing your best, but can we make him the problem of some other police force?

    Larry Murphy is a vicious criminal. He showed no inclination to enter any therapy programmes while in jail -- no remorse was ever shown either and he was still let off a third of his sentence for "good behaviour". How safe can that possibly make any woman feel?

    After his release he turned up in the south of Spain -- where so many Irish families holiday with their children.

    The Guardia Civil issued photographs of "the face of evil" to warn locals and consider him a "high risk individual". So they should, but to be honest, I know it's selfish -- I'd prefer him to be their problem rather than ours.

    So, today please -- Molesworth Street should be on alert; cancel the tea break, don't answer the phones and when you see Larry Murphy entering the building, cover your disgust up and stamp whatever forms are needed before advising him that he's free to leave the country immediately.

    Sinead Ryan: Fast-track evil rapist Murphy's passport to get him out of here

    Yeah. Quick. Make him someone else's problem. In fact, he should fare well in a society who won't even know what he looks like :rolleyes:

    That is the most ridiculous article I've ever read. He should be kept here.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    From the Herald
    who are not responsible for his actions -- repeatedly had to assure everyone that he wasn't there and that they didn't know where he was.

    This was one thing I was saddened by.

    The family had nothing to do with the crimes of Larry Murphy.
    Yet locals would hang around their house which is intimidating or even demand to know if Larry was staying there.
    And the family would get shouted at while walking home from mass, even while their children were with them

    I understand the locals fears but shame on them! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,048 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    That woman's article is kind of ridiculous. All this stuff like, 'I don't care if he's in Spain or France so long as it's Somewhere Else' and 'he turned up in the south of Spain - where so many Irish families are' and 'I'd rather he was Spain's problem than ours'.

    He kinda is our problem though. He's a very serious criminal and should still be in jail. If he rapes a Spanish woman or a French woman, that is kind of the Irish judicial system's problem too for releasing him so early. The disregard for people of other nationalities who are at risk because of the lax nature of justice in this country is a bit ridiculous.

    Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if the author had a quick turnabout of opinion if she found out he was living, undisturbed, in a holiday destination she was planning to go to.

    The guy should be locked up, the key should be thrown away and we should go on with our lives making jokes about him on Facebook in peace.

    I bet Larry is so angry that he goes on a raping rampage!

    D'you know what's funny about all this hate towards him, now that you say that: we can rip into him all we like, but the second the Brits said something bad about him we'd go ****ing mental.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 730 ✭✭✭gosuckonalemon


    Apparently he is still considered high risk due to this failure to undergo counselling. The authorities say you can't force someone to undergo counselling if they don't want to, however it would be a nightmare for diplomatic relations if he attacked again while abroad.

    IMHO there are two possible next steps:

    1) Try out The Ludovico Technique on him which is a form of aversion therapy that they used in A Clockwork Orange.

    2) Do more research in making the ginger gene extinct. It is obvious that the ginger would never get any hole by conventional means.

    Sinead Ryan: Fast-track evil rapist Murphy's passport to get him out of here

    Thats actually a ****ing terrible article. "We dont care where this rapist and potential serial killer lives, as long as its not in my back yard". So its cool if he rapes the **** out of a few spaniards is it? How about trying to secure some evidence to link him to the ****ing murders and get him put away forever instead of trying to fast track him a passport so he can go on a european rape tour.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 458 ✭✭Boxoffrogs


    Wasn't there a case recently of a Polish guy found guilty of committing rape (Cork I think) and after the trial details were released of a conviction for the same offence in Poland? I can only imagine that the victim and her family are furious with the Polish and Irish authorities for allowing him to roam freely.

    I would feel slightly ashamed if Larry Murphy was to go on and offend again on foreign soil. You can only hope that the Gardai here are liaising with Spanish authorities to try and prevent that. To my mind, I would prefer if he was to remain in Ireland until, at the very least, he had undergone a period of rehabilitation.

    Seriously, he should be denied a passport and made wear one of those gps ankle bracelets so he can be tracked wherever he goes. Larrys in the wicklow mountains? Send out the ****ing riot squad, and give him a good kicking when you fimd him chaps

    Can you imagine the equally shrill and morally indignant article she'd write if it emerged there was an African serial rapist who'd been convicted of some appalling crimes who was now living an anonymous life over here. Or worse still what she'd say if she read an article in a African newspaper by some bird who was delighted he was out of her country and was Ireland's problem now?

    Who decides that these people are qualifid to write newspaper articles FFS?

    The Spanish police papered the areas where Murphy was staying, warning the residents that he was in the area. They are keeping an eye on him as best they can but because of his 'rights' (yes, its sickening), they can only do so much.

    I'd be ashamed too if he did similar (or worse) over there.
    One small grace though is that if he did, the Spanish police might come down harder on him unlike the courts that consistently are a joke here.

    Call me crazy, but hasn't he served the time that our ****ty old judiciary system sentenced him to? Who exactly is demanding that the Gardai watch him night and day other than the Helen Lovejoy type Herald readers?

    The sad thing is that people assume that the Herald are doing them a service by perpetuating their fears. Someone called this a 'great write-up'.. and all over Ireland two-bit 'journalists' came in their trousers.

    These muppets aren't dealing in rationale or reasoned anxiety.. they deal in over-exaggerated bullshit. If Murphy was to rape again, they'd see it as overtime.

    I called it a "great write-up" in that it could be open to the holes in her thoughts and commented on - NOT that I agree with a lot of her ideas I want to make that clear.

    He has served his time in this country. Sadly I feel his sentence was too short but thats just an opinion.
    Who is demanding that he be watched? I would say (besides the rags) at least the residents of the areas he's been housed in.

    As for the papers, aye, I agree. Part of me thinks the rags are hoping he man will do something stupid again so they can sell more inked paper.

    Love the couple of lines where she says
    Every day there were internet boards and gossip about where Murphy was staying and it had got to the stage where people were afraid to go out. Well, I'm sick of that and don't want it to start up again.

    this is preceded and followed by her doing precisely that.

    I just don't think that monitoring and reporting on his every move is the best course of action. Why not release prisoners with strict stipulations placed on them? Have him sign in to a Garda station every 12 hours, places curfews on him, or electronically tag him.

    The sensationalism shown by some media publications will only force him underground and place a burden on our already stretched policing force.

    After he was released, an angry mob congregated outside of a property where they wrongly believed him to be staying in. Mass hysteria is a powerful thing..

    I know what your saying and I agree a great deal but we don't have the resources presently to do what we would really like to do.
    Probably 'cos part of the time we are doing stupid stuff like this! See: http://www.thejournal.ie/readme/youll-be-back-from-prison-in-time-for-your-dinner-what-really-happens-when-you-dont-pay-your-tv-licence/
