Slane Castle where Kings of Leon will Play
Slane, Meath, Dark Secrets and many Lies
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”.
