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

No you don't know who was in Clones that night.

You`re now sounding like a lad who when asked to add 2,029 to 2,039 that when told by a teacher he got it wrong refused to accept that unless the teacher lined up 4,068 objects to prove he got it wrong.

It would be interesting to know the exact date of that assault on Nicola Gallagher in that car park in Clones. There must have been absolute mayhem in the little town of Clones that night when Rory Gallagher, (never the shy and retiring type), and his team mates, one of which was Stephen Maguire husband of Sheila Maguire, went looking for this mystery man who beat Gallagher`s girlfriend to a pulp resulting in friends having to bring her to Monaghan hospital.

Cop yourself on. You either believe Sheila Maguire or you do not, and her post makes it very clear who beat Nicola Gallagher to a pulp that night in Clones.

Again, not what I said or asked.

Your reply to a post was "You are assuming her story has never been heard. If police have been informed it undoubtedly has"

Rory Gallagher clearly implied in his statement that allegations had been made about him to both police authorities on this island. That they had been investigated, and not only had they been investigated by both, the findings of both were benificial in him being granted custody of the couples children in both jurisdictions.

Do you still believe her story has undoubtedly been heard here by An Garda Siochana, as Rory Gallager has implied and some here belived to be true ?

The small number of people, who apparently know nothing about Gallagher, who want to find different ways to defend him is pathetic. Strangely nobody claiming to be his friend is prepared to stand by him. Those who know about his behaviour over the years understand why.

I never said he mentioned he was investigated in both jurisdictions.

I said he implied he was and and the result was instrumental in him gaining custody of the couples children in both jurisdictions. Something if you read back, was believed by some here which is now an implication that is demonstrably untrue

Good choice of a user name if you believe that a woman being assaulted by her then boyfriend is some kind of indication that it was not him because they went on to get married and have children.

Cannot get over the coments from both sexes, today especially on twitter, that are on his side. There were witnesses. If she is a drunk...it's kind've irrelevant ....she was battered. If she was sober I think the negative reaction to her would have been the same. She is not looking for sympathy, she is merely outing him.

As I said to the poster I have seen nothing from Sheila Maguire that states she was not a witness, have you or are you similar to your belief that allegations in both jurisdictions were investigated, as per Rory Gallagher`s implied statement ?

Her being battered in Clones was 24 years ago, so I don`t know where people are going with this legal argument re witnesses. The statute for assault as far as I know is 7 years. But even if it was not, I doubt any defence barrister would look forward to Sheila Maguire`s testimony and then attempt to convince a jury that there was any reasonable doubt that it was anybody other than Rory Gallagher that battered her to the state Nicola Gallagher describes in her post. Of the two barristers that would be involved, should that case ever come to court, I imagine the prosecution barrister would relish having Rory Gallagher giving evidence on that night much more so than his opposite number with Sheila Maguire.

I have no idea why Nicola Gallagher posted what she did. Be it because she wants an investigation, a prosecution or she wants custody of her kids, but I imagine it is at least some succour for her to be finally able to say what happened to her in this jurisdiction and that someone there on the night has come forward to back her up.

Again you have no idea if she reported anything in relation to her being assaulted in Clones. From a reported reply by An Garda Siochana when asked they said they were aware of a media post and were now in contact with an individual in relation too it, I doubt if this isn`t the first they have heard of it.

But then you do have some strange ideas, from a woman being battered being old news, too finally having somebody come forward after her going public and verifying what she says as being of little long term value to her too now her being an alcoholic is somehow the reason she posted what she did.

For myself, I believe that anybody still attempting to imply that Rory Gallagher was not responsible for battering Nicola Gallagher to a pulp in Clones in 1999, or that he didn`t do similar in the intervening years, really needs to take time out from commentating on this and have a good long look at themselves.

Is it true that he has custody of their children ?

That's because she wouldn't listen to people and kept going back to him after he beat her several times.

The bigger question is why is there so many gombeens jumping to defend a woman beater and blame the woman. I ask this as a straight man with a missus and two kids. If you're wondering why you're single look no further than this. Tramps who treat women like that should be hung by their bollocks, anyone who thinks otherwise is no man. Cop yourselves on.
