“A MAN WHO threatened to stab a woman with a syringe needle during a robbery has been jailed for three years”


“The defence also presented a letter from Fr Peter McVerry saying that Reilly was stable and doing well in his drug rehabilitation”



Peter Mcverry in my eyes is a hypocrite who loves the limelight.

Giving a letter in court to support a scumbag who held up a women with a syringe.

The man had 17 previous convictions.

I’ve heard he also pays fines out of charity money for low life’s.

Can’t stand the man and his self righteous attitude.

In a fairly long article, this is the only reference to Peter McVery

The defence also presented a letter from Fr Peter McVerry saying that Reilly was stable and doing well in his drug rehabilitation.

It's a factual statement about how the man is getting on in rehab, it doesn't say he's a good guy or to go easy on him.

Is Peter McVerry a qualified psychiatrist/drugs counsellor/rehab counsellor?? i thought he was retired??

But in this instance they've been jailed, as opposed to receiving a suspended sentence. Or did I miss something?

He got five years with two suspended.

I've seen middle class men get four years for rape, so for an attempted robbery this seems reasonable.

I'm glad the guy is in rehab, it's better for him and it's better for society.

3 years with two suspended for holding a syringe to someone is reasonable?


Ahhhh I’m so glad the poor lad is doing ok now after his 17 convictions.

Who cares about the victim, it’s all about the poor lad ay.

Yes you are.

The whole point of Peter McVerry sending a letter to support this scumbag in court.

Of course people care about the victim, it's very upsetting to get mugged. I hope they have recovered from the ordeal.

You should be glad he's doing well, if he stays clean and sober he is much less of a threat to society when he gets out.

If you could take your emotions out of the situation, you'd see that.

Nah I’d rather he rots it be honest.

Remember him. Going around changing water into wine, knocking around with a prostitute and a group of sandal wearing hippies

Yes, I can see that, and that's an emotional response rather than a logical one. We know that he will be released in 2-3 years, so for the benefit of the community he lives in at that point, we should very much hope he stays clean.

According to their accounts the "Fr Peter McVerry Trust" spend over 70% of their income on wages and salaries for their staff and employ over 300 people. If Fr Peter trusts this lad so much maybe he should give him a job in the office beside him.

The prisoner in this case is apparently 36. Given his long relationship with drugs, if he continues on that path, he might only have a life expectancy of about 40. That's an OAP in heroin-addict years.

I hope that doesn't happen, I hope he recovers and gets his life back. But being practical about it, well heroin addicts start to die off around that age.

17 previous convictions, that means Judges have failed in their duty of care to protect society from this guy. Imagine if you went into hospital for an operation only to find the doctor assigned to you had messed up the procedure 17 previous times, it couldn't possibly happen right? The very idea is insane, yet letting criminals walk the street with double digit (sometimes triple) convictions is fine for some reason.

It wasn't intended as one, more of an observation really.

It was clearly intended to handwave his point with "u mad?".

Yup, I've made it clear several times on the thread that I think the OP should try to look at things like this rationally rather than emotionally.

Sending him to jail is fine. But how about the 80 to 100k per year of taxpayers money to keep him there with all the frills of a 5 star hotel...and then back out again to re offend.. way past time to change this system of failure and high cost to the taxpayers..make criminals work and pay their way through jail... bet it would cut down on the repeat offenders

Actually, I've offered a valid opinion on the OP.

You don't like it, that's fine. Feel free to get on with your day. As you were.

Where are you getting that idea?

If I was mugged and I heard the guy got three years with an additional two suspended, I would feel justice had been done.

what kind of dodgy 5-star hotels have you been staying at?

Cramped in a room with up three dodgy strangers and taking your morning crap in the corner of the bedroom isn't my idea of what The Fitzwilliam must be like.

Very disappointed, thought this was going to be about his support of the lethal injection fir crims.
