Rory Gallagher - A dismissed case that was dealt with and brought to attention? Mod Note in OP

Yep. Just because a court doesn’t bring charges because of one thing or another, does not mean allegations are false.

to date has he come out to deny allegations of violence against his ex wife? If he hasn’t, that doesn’t mean he is guilty, but it really does (logically) have folks thinking he is guilty of violence against his ex wife. I know if it was me accused of such abhorrent things (and if I was innocent) I would strongly protest my innocence.

So now we know why his wishy washy statement didnt deny beating her and abusing her. Imagine some posters thinking it was normal for him not to deny the allegations. Not denying them is a red light all day long.

So why didnt he deny the allegations? Ffs.

I never said anything that you’re implying. I simply asked a poster that just because someone gets custody of children, and no trial happens for domestic violence, does this mean the person is innocent of violence against the accuser?!

What about Sheila Maguires witness account backing up nicola about the night in clones? Is she lying?

Yes, but now these allegations are in the news. Island wide. Very serious allegations. No denial at all as of yet. I do find this telling, if I’m being honest..

Shes acknowledges there was abuse.

How do you know alot off the Fermanagh team were in clones that night?

That's not what I asked.

He is a bag egg that's is known 20 years.

He didn't get cleared off anything either.

Have you actually read it yourself ?

Sheila Maguire says she was with Nicola Gallagher in Clones in 1999 and went with her to Monaghan hospital. She goes on to says " Life moves on, college work, etc but I always rhought maybe now they are married things have changed, but not so"

So what are you saying, that they went to Monaghan hospital for some reason other than Nicola Gallagher being assulted in a carpark in Clones, or that she was assualted by someone other than Rory Gallagher. ?

As someone who understands this lady!s situation having walked in her shoes, you are wrong in respect of her post by blurting it out there.

The bitterness comes from being silenced for so long. Now that the “secret” is out, in a way, it forces her to heal.

She is taking back control by putting her own story out there, instead of allowing him paint her as a mad vindictive alcoholic.

i dint blame her being an alcoholic if that’s what she’s had to endure.

I hope this is the first step of her healing and that she gets the support and help she needs to get there.

End the silence is the only way to do that. It’s not everyone’s way of doing it by posting it in social media, but that’s her way and so be it.

Reading her social media, far from being regretful of posting, the support she is receiving from around the world from both men and women is boosting her morale, Too many of the same stories from women who have experienced the same.

So which is it.

The visit to Monaghan hospital had nothing to do with Nicola Gallagher being assaulted in a car park in Clones in 1999, or someone other than Rory Gallagher her then boyfriend assaulted her beating her to a pulp ?

Absolutely incredible that people are still playing the "well she's an alcoholic" card as though this makes everything OK.

I understand you now. You are deliberately being obtuse.

Not difficult where you appear to believe that Googling the possible date of what Nicola Gallagher said occured in Clones and what Sheila Maguire has verified has any relevance other than the two of them getting their story straight.

I'd imagine a lot of those police interviews were conducted in relative privacy.

However now Nicola has made it public, other people who witnessed events down through the years might start coming forward like Sheila has.

Outsiders like to convince themselves that it's a blip/ once off event. Especially if the couple go on to marry and have children etc.

Outsiders are generally reluctant to get in-between spouses.

I think the best thing Nicola can do for herself is get herself sober (easier said than done) and reapply for custody of her children. She's already away from the person she has named as an abuser, that's half the battle.
