THE GARDA OMBUDSMAN is to investigate allegations that a contractor for Shell provided alcohol to gardaí in Co Mayo.
The Ombudsman told TheJournal.ie this evening:
The Garda Ombudsman received material from the Garda Siochána in accordance with section 85 of the Garda Siochána Act 2005. Following consideration of that material, the Garda Ombudsman has today begun an investigation.
Shell E&P Ireland Limited (SEPIL) said it welcomes the investigation into OSSL’s allegations.
It said that in recent weeks, SEPIL “provided information to Supt Murphy’s examination and will also co-operate fully with GSOC’s forthcoming investigation”.
These allegations have dragged on for a long period and SEPIL trusts that GSOC’s involvement will bring this matter to an end.
OSSL was a contractor employed at the Corrib gas project from 2005 – 2010. It was to provide safety equipment as a sub-contractor to the main contractor, Shell.
Shell said that in late 2009/2010 it told OSSL that its services were no longer required.
This was followed by a contract dispute, and during this time OSSL alleged that there had been delivery of alcohol to gardaí, as well as gifts for local residents, in 2007.
The allegations were detailed in an Observer article in August of this year. OSSL alleged it delivered €35,000 worth of alcohol, which came from Northern Ireland, to Belmullet Garda Station in December 2007.
OSSL invoiced SEPIL for the alleged deliveries of alcohol to gardaí, said SEPIL.
An independent internal investigation was instigated by SEPIL, but the team did not find any evidence to support OSSL’s allegations.
A senior Shell representative met with OSSL in June of this year and SEPIL is satisfied that their contractual dispute has been closed.
Married twice in the space off 4 years good lad . I presume the other two we’re equally as stupid as the slender brunette in the picture with him
It turned out one of them only married him in the hopes of getting his body after his death, presumably to make money from it. He was supposedly left heartbroken as a result of this.
If those murders were committed in Ireland he probably wouldn’t have spent a day in jail as he was never present at any of the murders.. Manson himself was neglected and abused as a child, he was placed in a childs detention center from his early teens and was sexually abused from around the same age.. To be fair he never got a start in life and considering he was never present at any of the murders I’d say he would have got off scot free over here..
He wasn’t present at the tate murders and the next murder. It’s untrue to say he wasnt present at other murders.
John he wasn’t present at any murders carried out by the Manson Family..
@Cosmo Kramer: most definitely was at at least one
@Cosmo Kramer: i’m pretty sure he was present during hinmans murder/torture
They didn’t let him out because he might run for President. He has all the qualifications required.
Maniac

She walked across the dance floor that night..
She was a sexy lady
@Eye_c_u: She had to get her thrill
@Liam O’Reilly: “It was the heat of the moment”
Sorry I was thinking of a different song.
Ah Jaysis Les. Wreck the buzz why don’t ya.
How come these nutcases attract beautiful women?
Hint, they’re also nutcases
@Mr Snuffleupagus: He plays guitar.
It is frightening to see the kind of women that are attracted to him. The original Mason Family had would seemed like normal well educated people. Particularly gorgeous women in the Mason Family he used to get into places, a lot of dark people out there.
The idiots think they can change/save/understand him. Pick whichever.
@prop joe: yeah but the manson girls were very very young and he was in his 40′s and filling them with LSD and bulls*it…and i doubt he was taking any himself. A master manipulator and bad bad man. Doris Tate will be disappointed he will die of old age.
The one in the photo is not all that beautiful, to be fair.
Do ya think if he was a bus driver she would be with him ..look at the head on hin !!
@Mr Snuffleupagus: They always did?
Still looks as evil as ever
Interesting how Manson’s idea of pitting one race against another seems to be a standard political tool nowadays….
He should only be transferred to a morgue.
A morgue? a hole in the ground that he should dig.
No loss
Hopefully he’ll die in agony.
Or even better karma is that one of the hospital workers is related to one of his victims…..
The video interviews of him on utube are mesmerising. He would have you convinced he did nothing wrong and the world did him wrong.
@Shane Kenny: Theres a podcast called you must remember this and there are a few episodes about manson, his followers and the history of it all. Very good listening if you’re interested!
Frankly, I couldn’t give a fcuk!!
Should be burried at sea in a Dybbuk box rather than a coffin?
Catherine Tate wasn’t far off the mark!!!
Push him along asap
have your say
