WOULD YOU LET YOUR ELDERLY HUSBAND GO TO JAIL?

22nd February 2010

Think about it.  Would you want an elderly relative to go to jail?  Would you stand back and see your elderly husband go to jail?  Would you stand back and allow your grandfather or father to go to jail?  I think not.

But today in Carrick on Shannon Elva Gallagher let her elderly husband go to jail.  AGAIN.  And for the THIRD time.  And why?  Well to futher her inflated self importance.

Although Elva and her pensioner supporters arrived on time, her elderly (and according to them, sickly) husband was not there.  No, she knew he had to be there by order of the Court in Letterkenny last week but rather than travelling together she chose to engage the services and expense of the State yet again to bring Daniel to Court.  But then SHE wasn't expecting to go to jail.

Daniel did arrive eventually, having been escorted by the Gardai from his home in Donegal and guess what? he was committed to prison for two weeks.  I'm sure his wife wasn't surprised.  She never has been. 

It was notable today that the self appointed 'Lone Ranger' (for those who don't know, that is John Gill who swore an Affidavit saying he believed he was the Lone Ranger) was not present today as he was indisposed.  No, not Swine flu, rather he chose the wrong words or attitude in the High Court in Dublin last week as a result of which he was found himself in contempt of court (what's new?) and was sent to jail.

So today Elva walks around like the old queen bee amongst her followers whilst her elderly huband is taken away to jail and her very best and closest friend John Gill too is in jail.  Femme fatal or what?

So who do you feel sorry for?
