They may need to expand on that youâd think.
I reckon that just about covers all they want to say.
Thatâs pure speculation, they may not have been.
A very carefully put together statement, issued and presumably drafted by a solicitor. They must be a very poor solicitor if they simply overlooked to deny the allegations.
They most certainly would have been. I mentioned before, and the statement alludes to it, that he was questioned by the PSNI 18 months ago. That ensures it would have been front and centre in the custody hearings.
Youâd imagine heâll step away at the team meeting tonight.

Theyâll surely be able to issue a clarification statement denying all allegations if it slipped their mind.
We donât know that, correct. In the statement released by Gallagher he does say.
âAllegations against me have been investigated and dealt with by the relevant authorities."
I canât see how these allegations would not be pertinent to a custody case and I canât see how custody would be granted to him if they believed they were credible.
We donât know what was heard and what was not but we can reasonably conclude that no charges or convictions were made against Gallagher.
Again, neither of us know, but Iâm sure when itâs the care of a child such accusations would be treated with the utmost seriousness and investigated fully.
Iâm sure it is but the elephant in the room is that if these allegations have been given due process (as claimed), how could Gallagher have got custody of the children? The Clones incident should be pretty easily corroborated by her friend who jumped on Gallagher that night to stop him and her admission to hospital in Monaghan. That would surely have a massive bearing on proceedings?
If ye wanna box weâll box
Please do not misrepresent my position again with partial quotes. We donât know if they were or not but if Gallagherâs statement is correct (as I explicitly stated) it is reasonable to gather that these allegations were addressed in it.
What does Gallagher do for a living? I know he used to run the SuperValu but whats his day job now?
Works in recruitment now in Belfast.
I havenât batted for him or against him, and i havenât or wouldnât say a word against her. And youâre right, there arenât many with commonsense

Be nice to think that the wife can put that period of her life behind her and find peace again. Whatever did or did not happen it canât be easy on the kids
No it isnât. Youâre speculating they were brought up in the custody hearings. They may not have been.
Not nitpicking with your comments but my reading of this truly sordid issue is that the Clones thuggery happened as far back as 25+ years ago. Personally my sympathies are with Nicola but Iâm slightly perturbed by the fact that she posted the exposĂŤ about 4 oâclock in the morning.

As I clarified in the sentence that you selectively left out. You instead decided to selectively quote one part, omit the parts that said
a) we donât know the full ins and outs
b) if Gallagherâs statement is true
As Iâve said below, we have an allegation and a denial of allegations and a whole load of facts and incidents we donât know. Repeating myself again before you again try and misrepresent me, Iâm more inclined to believe her side of the story than his but there are things that also donât add up on both sides of each otherâs stories.
I thought thatâs what he did before the supermarket job. Didnât realise he was back in it

Yes.
Would there not be medical records on hospital admissions that can clarify she was admitted that night?
Is her friend who stopped Rory Gallagher by jumping on his back not around to go on record or willing to?
I donât know either of the answer to those questions but they would certainly support and strengthen her case.
