The thing for me is, irrespective of the rights and wrongs, he chose to give a character reference, and had time to deliberate. He was satisfied at the time that it was the right thing to do. He is now claiming it was an error solely because public opinion has swung against him. This is what gets me. If he felt it was genuinely right, he should have stuck to that in the face of a few tabloids, giving his reasoning. He is just going with the prevailing wind here.

Its a fucking joke.
He is done in GAA surely for a long time.
How did it all go? Are you on honeymoon now?
Cusack has done sod all wrong here and certainly done nothing to justify the witch hunt which will no doubt take place against him.
He has clearly given this statement because he knows he will be witch hunted and in the current media environment itās difficult to swim against that.
Whether you like it or not, giving a character reference, such as to say that the perpetrator feels remorse for a crime, is a legitimate part of the justice system and it doesnāt imply that the person who files it doesnāt accept that the person theyāre making it on behalf of has committed a crime. Itās quite obvious Cusack fully accepts Humphries has committed a serious crime and isnāt trying to stop him being put in prison.
Mick Galwey was entitled to give a character reference too, whether anybody liked it or not.
Humphries has committed a serious crime here but at least heās prepared to do his time, unlike Eddie Halvey.
One has to assume this was his inspiration.
But to now run away from TH, thats just as weak and weird.
I cannot get my head around this.
Its terribly misguided at best. He probably doesnāt deserve the shit he will get, but fuck me, why???
No reason to feel sorry for that cunt. In a country that already is aoft on sex offenders.
We have fucking Larry Murphy free ffs, and this clown is helping reduce sentances. Just umbelievable

Character references should be abolished from Irish courts of law.
There is no need for them.
Greatest thing I ever didā¦ Something you wonāt get until you do itā¦ yeah, in a top notch resort about 25 mins outside Cadizā¦ Eating and drinking the best of it. Cava for breakfast , Gin for night capā¦ All you can eat in betweenā¦ Ready to move on now to a couple of towns to enjoy some sights . Only so much of the high life you can handle.

Great stuff. Glad it was a blast
Nobody forced cusack to write it. Had he told his paedophile friend to fuck off then heād be still sitting above on his high horse preaching like the smug cork he has always been.
