There are many people from Bantry to Castletownbere, from Bandon to Eyeries, from Schull to Dursey who will tell you as if it were common knowledge now, and even then in 1996, that Bailey did not kill that lady, and that the actions of the Gards in covering up for one of their own then, and now, have led to one of the worst miscarriages of justice this island has seen - for Sophie, for Bailey himself, and for Sophie's family. I met Bailey on several occasions - mostly in Glengarriff where he lived for a time, and although I found him to be a very narcissistic individual, and one who certainly profited from the notoriety, and almost basked in it in pubs in west Cork after a few pints, but nothing about that man suggested to anybody who came in contact with him that he murdered that poor lady and was delighted to have gotten away with it. He was instead deeply angered at the Gards, the Irish Media and the Irish State for their behaviour. Very easy to make a scapegoat out of an obnoxious Englishman in rural Ireland in 1996 if you wish to deflect from all the inconsistencies put forward by the Gards in West Cork.
Don’t be so hard on Ian Bailey - no one knows the extent of the suffering that Ian went through for decades which would have led to a nervous breakdown or even suicide to a lesser man. Ian had to put on such a persona in order to exist, to function in society and let no one forget that he had been an accomplished journalist in the UK before settling in Cork after his marriage breakdown. It is a wonder he didn’t turn into araving lunatic after being metaphorically crucified in public for decades. The man was persecuted to death with every word and facial expression scrutinized under the microscope of public and police opinion. It is scandalous. RIP Ian Bailey and not one person had the compassion to turn up at his grave with a bunch of flowers or could be bothered to say a prayer at his graveside. Ireland should be ashamed.

You are hitting it. Same in most organisations in the RoI. The promoted ones spend their time trying to discredit better performers. They use relatives, vulnerable people to create lies, hoping something sticks. Unbelievable.
Have to say I find the idea of Cassidy doing her books 📖 and RTÉ PR very strange and unprofessional, considering the kind of things she was investigating, many things you would expect would be official secrets.
That gate was kept in the evidence area for years. The dna was extracted and found to be only Sophie's. It was then ,apparently, offered back to the family but the guardai didn't hear from them. So it was eventually destroyed.
Bailey was a hopeless alcoholic so he was easy prey to be framed by Garda and ill equipped to take them on in court or to call them out to the world via alt media
What do you think of the theory that Sophie was killed by the horses in the adjoining field? She loved nature and horses, probably went out to them in the early morning with a treat like muesli in her hands and the horses were expecting their feed. They reared up, kicked her in the head, bit her hands and trampled on her. She grabbed a brick and tried to flee but her injuries were fatal. Two women were killed by horses recently in Longford and Galway but there were witnesses so we didn’t end up with a ‘Whodunit’.
Did the horses also have a discussion to decide which one of them was going to trot up to the house and run their hoof down the back door and leave a blood stain....? Excuse the apparent sarcasm but if you delve deeply into the evidence file there is no question she was brutally murdered by a man..... Certainly not a horse!
@@patrickpiranha4912 "there is no question she was brutally murdered by a man" There is no evidence that she was murdered by a man. It could have been a woman.
I can't drive. I can't prove it though... ps I've an open mind on the matter. Whether he did it or whether he didn't, the Guards made a balls of the whole thing. I'll give you this, though - I can 100% get why someone innocent, accused of murder, would shout their innocence from the rooftops; but there's a great deal to be said for discretion as well, however, in spite of words having been his living, I don't think Ian had the first clue of the meaning of _that_ one!

I thought until quite recently that Ian bails was the killer, however I now think the real killer lived much much closer to Sophie's cottage.
based on what ?ian the woman beaters lies?
How much closer? Ian lived close enough. Silly thought

You are the man.
Corruption and cover up has been the basis of the Irish system since our foundation and the sad thing is that the Irish people accepted it
And that gate went missing ,, and who ever killed this lady they will stand judgement on that day of passing.
A 10ft gate wth vital eviidance on this case dissapered from Banda garde station! WHY?
Because it was covered in the killers DNA and that DNA didn't match Baily's.
That gate was kept in the evidence area for years. The dna was extracted and found to be only Sophie's. It was then ,apparently, offered back to the family but the guardai didn't hear from them. So it was eventually destroyed.

Welcome
I met Bailey in arklow in the early 90s,it was obvious He was a grifter of women.
Bailey was a hopeless alcoholic so he was easy prey to be framed by Garda and ill equipped to take them on in court or to call them out to the world via alt media
go away bot
By god they’ve questions to answer.
🇮🇪💚💪
You're absolutely right! Shame on the Garda

Great video. Maybe next time you might up the sound a bit.
It's you speakers, I have the same problem, got advice and fitted plug in earphones, great now.
Ian did not do it the irish dont like the english the gards distroyed an inosance mans life
If he was innocent thered have been plenty to prove he didnt do it
But there wasnt , he may be innocent but he didnt do a job doing of proving he was
I can't drive. I can't prove it though...

@jorian2212
I accuse you of murder. Now prove that you didn't do it.
See how silly that is?
Common Law is clearly a mystery to you.
Any thoughts on the Aaron Brady case?
nail on the head val
Did you check out the 6 hour Autopsy of Martin Scullion by the Super in kevin st. Garda Station!
Get the date right at least. 23rd of December 1996. Not 22nd
