Dana Rosemary Scallon’s brother accused of molesting sister’s child

hope we never hear of her again a real asehole not even irish either

just heard Dana has quit(I'll drink to that) who's next?

I know too well, about these things. I know how it is easy to react, jump the gun. I can hear my own children talking up in the kitchen, with their mummy as I tap this useless thing down here. I know how hard it is to deal with the aftermath of knowing that your own children have been raped by there relatives. I know how the iron curtain drops down and is bolted to the floor if you try to stand against them. The perpetrators stare you down and there affiliates, who in the face of ordinary life are perceived to be the most kindly,caring and wonderful individuals, turn there backs on you, as if you were the one who were the perpetrator. These affiliates can take tea, attend weddings wakes and christening. laugh and joke alongside the very people who raped there own children. It's bizzare beyond comprehension. I don't know about "The Dana Thing" but what I do know is that her reaction and the timing of her reaction is perfectly normal in this alice in wonderland world. Dana claims that these vile allegations are all a ploy to undermine her presidential bid. Dana doesn't have a snowdrops chance in hell of winning, with or without the allegations. Although in a mad way the allegations could her get a higher percentage of the popular vote. The auld symphaty vote still works well here in Paddyville, elsewhere and beyond. I'm not running for any presidential campaigne but what I have done is write a very contreversial play called "The Nest" all about this kind of thing. So if there is anyone out there with a bit of clout, get in touch, this is so important and needs to be heard right for all the right reasons, that are me and you. Anyways, I guess I just want to know what if anything happened to Dana's niece. Is she just like us

mehereinireland, you make good points, but we must always observe the principle that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That applies, naturally, also to Dana and her brother. However, the allegations against her brother were made years ago. At the time, IMHO, Dana should have gone to the authorities to have the matter properly and professionally investigated, and either the molester brought to justice or the accuser, if the accusation was just a spiteful and hateful ploy in a family spat about money ("mammon"). Those who falsely accuse others of abusing children are themselves abusers, because their crying "wolf" only reduces the likelihood of abused children being listened to when they try to tell someone they have been abused. A person with such a cavalier attitude to the welfare of children is not fit to be a dog catcher in Upper Slobovia, much less the President of an ancient and, however flawed, venerable country like Ireland.

Personal life of mcguinness He married Bernadette Canning in 1974. They have four children, two girls and two boys[25] McGuinness is a fan of the Derry Gaelic football and hurling teams[26] and played both sports when he was younger.[26] He grew up just 50 metres from Celtic Park, the home of Derry GAA.[26] His brother[26] Tom played Gaelic football for Derry and is regarded as one of the county's best ever players.[27] Among his honours are three Ulster Senior Football Championship medals, as well as Ulster Under 21 and All-Ireland Under 21 Championship medals.[28] McGuiness is a member of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, meaning that he does not drink alcohol.[29]

If this story is correct and her brother abused his niece What is wrong with that woman she has daughters herself how could you cover up for anyone that committed such a vile crime - she should be locked up with her brother if it turns out to be true - as for her getting President two chances - SLIM & None

And this is being reported for what reason? To smear Dana's name? To paint faith-filled people as masqueraders? The journalism on this site panders to the lowest common denominator way, way too often.

The allegations are extremely serious if a child has been sexually abused for over a decade, there will have to be an investigation to see if the allegations are in fact true before anyone can comment. Dana herself has done nothing wrong, it's her brother that has allegedly comitted a vile crime...She would want to be very cautious about protecting her brother from the consequences of this crime, IF he indeed is guilty...that is what The Catholic Church has done with the priests...Police investigation required

Dana is a complete and utter fraud

The candidates for the presidential election are so boring. No it is not the work of the devil or any other demonic forces/ Have you read your post jmjjjmd you sound like some mediavel soothsayer for god sakes if this happened what would be be voting in as president of Ireland. Anyway we don't need one at the moment when it is costing more than we can afford Do you not realise that people can't afford to keep the roof over their heads over here and the Government that we have at the moment what forgotten what it is like to live in the real world.

I think deserves got nothing to do with it.

she has a stein on her character - typical of goys being had, t6ime after time.

At least martin is an open book that's moe than we can say for the rest of the candidates.

Dana This is the work of the devil. Dont give up. Ireland the land of Saints and Scholars is under demonic attack and the last thing satan wants is a President who will uphold the Christian values Ireland has been known for throught the centuries. Wounded though you are remain at your post and do the masters bidding. The good people of this country are praying with you. When Ireland turns back to the sacred word of God it will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and be the envy of the world God bless you.

Yeah, You know that here in Ireland almost everyone are still in the dark about what the reason for TV outburst was. Dosen't she know that it is not always the act that causes the problem for those in politics, but the cover-up? One might say that it is a "family" issue, but if she knew or suspected that a relative was being abused, did she report it to the (civil) authorities or just follow the traditional catholic method of saying nothing?
