THE HIDDEN CORRUPTION IN IRELAND. AN OPEN LETTER TO SIMON HARRIS
2:01?PM (2 minutes ago)
to Department
Simon , see my memoir, 'Memories and Observations'? which I hand delivered to the Dail for you at half past Ten this morning - it includes a lot of the corruption that I've been complaining about. For a start go?to page 294 and read to the end of the chapter. This gives a flavour of what I'm talking?about? Then?read?the?full book at your leisure and be shocked. Included with the?book are?eight photocopied pages which relate to the?current corruption in Aosdana and the Arts that you will know nothing about.? Over many?years the 'silent?back room boys' have ruled Ireland by silencing what they don't want exposed. This has been facilitated by the so-called opposition and the left wing - who are as silent as the grave - to? which many Belfast Dockers and People have been sent through greed.
I refer to the unknown number of Asbestos Deaths sanctioned by the former ITGWU and covered?up by Jack O'Connor when he was president. While my book?'The Judas Goats' is hard to obtain, it contains all the details of the corrupt?Union and Employers Court that ordered Belfast Dockers to their deaths. Because my book is so hard to obtain, while you're doing so I will attach the documentation from the Court so you?can assess this for yourself.? ?While the book is hard to come by - my stage play 'The Judas Goat' is also censored. This is set at Belfast Docks 50 years ago and as your party is the part of Law and Order I'm sure it will soon?be uncensored.?
Also see my recent articles on linkedin which prove all I maintain. Why can I not get a lawyer in Ireland to take this case? The answer is simple - there are too many Rich Employers, Trade Union Officials and Lawyers who will be exposed if this case ever gets near a Courtroom. While this originated at Belfast Docks the Union's head office was in Dublin. Everyone in the Arts, Media and the Law censor any reference to it. For the sake of self - preservation no-one, Journalist or otherwise is allowed to report on this scandal. The power the censors have here is unbelievable.?While the people I've mentioned on Linkedin, including Lawyers, will claim 'it's no use in suing me as I've no money, however - Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin have plenty. I have many articles on linkedin and to a lesser degree on the other two. My linkedin address is - Hugh Murphy Heart & Soul Theatre Company.
Also it beggars belief that the Free Press in Ireland and investigative Journalists are muzzled - as concrete proof is there for all to see. The background to this corruption is thus. My first play 'Justice' toured NI and was in the Belfast and Dublin Theatre Festivals plus a week at the Tron in Glasgow. This was in 1992. However, when I wrote 'The Judas Goat', about the Belfast Docks Corruption, the diabolical censorship from the Unions, the employers and all and sundry in the Irish establishment set in. This play along with my Belfast Memoir categorises the mindset, thinking and censorship of the august establishment bodies in Ireland. They all deny this happened and censor the Truth.??My Memoir and play are true stories and the play is an obvious ON THE WATERFRONT. The documentary proof of the Union and Employers Court which termed itself 'The Joint Disciplinary Committee' - is in my play - my Memoir - and the accompanying book. For many years instant Proof of this corruption could be accessed on the following website,?www.siptupresidentjackoconnorexposed.com ?but some nice person has made that impossible.
As an alternative you can?-? open UTV's programme 'Death Trap on the Docks' and see dying Dockers and widows relate their unbelievable stories. This was the first time in Trade Union history, anywhere in the world, that a trade union persecuted, sacked and ordered to their death its own members - their families and the surrounding Belfast residents. This happened because they ordered the Dockers to discharge Asbestos without protection to save the employers money - and the deadly dust was blown all over Belfast. Here is?the banner title of the Union and Employers Court that sacked?the Belfast Dockers.
BELFAST AND NORTHERN IRELAND FEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS AND IRISH TRANSPORT AND GENERAL WORKERS UNION JOINT DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE.
As you know Simon, it morphed into SIPTU. The above is an open secret in Ireland because I have exposed it on linkedin many many times. And in 2019 left 40 copies of 'The Judas Goat' into the Dail for a cross section of members. See the article on linkedin which gives all their names. I also sent it to the PAC but the C&AG instructed them 'not' to allow me to appear before it. This is Irish Democracy and must be changed to favour the ordinary person - and not the wealthy.
Besides the betrayal of Connolly and Larkin - the deaths of Belfast residents who don't even know they've contracted Asbestosis - are the reason for the cover up. It was also the first time anywhere in the world that an employer was a previous Trade Union Chairman - and a current union member. After forming the diabolical 'Union and Employers Court' the chairman, Jim Austin, left the union and joined the employers as Labour Controller and brought his corruption to an even more disgusting level. However, unbelievably the now ex union chairman was allowed to remain a Union Member - by both head office in Dublin and The Irish Congress of Trade Unions. So much so that over ten years ago Jim Austin received his 50 year - long service badge from Jack O'Connor - the then Union president.??
The censoring of 'The Judas Goat' led to all my plays being censored - so as not to give me any clout and able to demand - that the 'The Judas Goat' be staged - and for the "Free Press" who [self-censor] to report on this unbelievable scandal. Because RTE are too afraid to expose this corruption the so-called 'Free Press' follow suit. The Belfast Docks corruption happened when the champion of the underdogs - i.e. - the trade union that fought to free Ireland as 'The Citizens Army' in 1916 - became corrupted in Belfast. Albeit 60 years later. The fact that the Union joined forces with the employers to persecute its own members is beyond doubt. It was the Judas Goat of a Union chairman, who ordered the Dockers to discharge Asbestos without protection to save the employers money. The Union and Employers Court proves that he had changed sides - and the reason why all and sundry in the Irish Employers and every Trade Union in Ireland covers up.
Is it any wonder Union Officials are using their friends in Government the Arts and the opposition? to censor my play . See also - in the books, the play and the web a letter to Jack O'Connor from his own Belfast solicitor, one John O'Neill of Thompson McClures, Belfast, stating that his Union 'did' sack its own members at Belfast Docks. He also tries to exonerate the Union, by totally ignoring the fact - that a Trade Union cannot Lawfully sack and persecute its own members. Letters from ICTU and the Union in the 1970's - prove they knew what was going on - but chose to ignore it.??Why, who bought them off and how much were they paid?
Was it the same people who bought off solicitor Norman Shannon? He sat on my case for seven years until it became Statute Barred - and lied to me that the other side wouldn't enter a defence. I now know that this is nonsense and if it happens then the case is won - and compensation is paid to the wronged person. The Official cover up of corruption beggars' belief. Neither O'Connor nor Norman Shannon, will sue me for calling them Corrupt and putting their corruption on the web. To show that I'm not blowing smoke besides the link to my books, I'm attaching the stage-play of 'The Judas Goat to give an overview of the Dictatorship imposed upon the Belfast Dockers by the Union and the Employers'. [I know it needs a cut]?
As the above is too controversial for the opposition, the PAC, SIPO, the Media Committee and even the great John Mc Guinness - well he did send my complaints to the Justice and Arts Ministers at the time - who just like himself did nothing about this scandal. Besides my?Docks play, I've also written a very long semi-fictitious screenplay about the Docks Corruption - which shows several of 'the?sacked by their Union' ex Belfast Dockers taking over Liberty Hall and demanding Justice, Despite the censoring I have never stopped writing. Find also attach my My Belfast Docks play, 'The Judas Goat'- which exposes the corruption that's in the file www.siptupresidentjackoconnorexposed.com
Simon, I look forward to hearing from you. and being UNCENSORED.
Regards
Hugh Murphy
