Child Pornography Slane Meath
A man in his 30s from Slane Village in County Meath has been charged with child pornography offences and remanded in custody to Cloverhill Prison pending his trial. The man is one of a number of people in the village who contacted the media in 2005 when it was rumoured that a man convicted of a sexual offence was moving into the village.
These people had their pictures taken and gave interviews to the Sunday World and other media, however, as the man charged this week is related to many of the ‘2005 campaigners’ they are making no protest this time round. In 2005 locals such as Clodagh Mc Connon and a number of others became public campaigners, but they now fall silent as one of their own is exposed.
One person in Slane who spoke to this writer said:
“Social services have been contacted on many occasions in relation to the family now at the centre of these latest allegations, however, social services appear to have failed another child in the Slane area. You can go to any of the pubs in this village at the weekend and find these so called ‘Mothers’ drunk out of their face and nobody blinks an eye. If we could bottle hypocrisy, Slane, would be richer than Saudi Arabia”.
Previous News from Slane, County Meath:
Gardai in Slane, County Meath and Meath County Council have been accused of failing to take action in relation to a resident in Crann Daire Brae, Slane, County Meath who has consistently brought crime and violence into the sleepy village.
Earlier today 7th April 2011 one man was stabbed as yet more violence erupted at 10 Crann Daire Brae, Slane, County Meath. The house is rented from Meath County Council by Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Coleman, Coleman has a string of convictions including assault, threat to kill, hit and run, abusing an old age pensioner and drunk driving, for which she is currently serving a three year ban.
Local residents were up in arms today as the latest victim was taken from 10 Crann Daire Brae, Slane, County Meath. Local residents say that Elizabeth Coleman has been reported to social services for neglecting her youngest child and social services have failed to act. Local residents say that Elizabeth Coleman has been reported regularly to the Gardai and Meath County Council and more often than not Coleman’s drink and drug fuelled violence is ignored.
One resident said:
“It is only matter of time before a man, women or child is murdered here and all because the Gardai and Meath County Council seem unwilling to take action against Coleman. Elizabeth Coleman is in her mid-30s and has been on social welfare for the past 15 years while the rest of us who work and pay our taxes are subjected on an almost daily basis to her abuse”.
A Garda forensic team have spent the day combing 10 Crann Daire Brae, Slane as local residents kept their children indoors and were clearly shaken by their latest violent ordeal.
A Garda source said that, “We have constantly brought Elizabeth ‘Lizzie’ Coleman before the courts for her criminal activity, it is Meath County Council who must take action in order to protect local residents, especially the many young children who use the newly built play park close to Coleman’s home”.
