Transgender sex offender in womens prison in Ireland

Ahh messed up the link www.oireachtas.ie/en/members/tds/

I'd say Once it is worth writing to any politicians, even local ones. This is one way to feed back to the parties that the general public does not support this.

You can find your TD here www.dublinlive.ie/news/dublin-news/sex-offender-undergoing-male-female-16623261

Your local city or county councillors will be listed on those councils websites.

Most women in prison are in for nonviolent offences. They have a huge rate of addiction and mental health issues, and histories of childhood abuse, domestic violence and prostitution. They are one of the most genuinely vulnerable groups of people in society. I am beyond sickened at this. Yes, TRAs have been infiltrating the IPRT for years - Peter Dunne of TELI and TENI (not sure but I suspect another Stephen Whittle) on the case.

Fuck them, just fuck them.

How long before he invokes human rights legislation to demand to be able to mix freely with the other female prisoners without extra supervision? He has got away with it so far so why not carry on pushing & pushing until he gets what he really wants?

I'd like to see him mixing freely with the Scissor Sisters, but I think they've been released. 😂

When you consider how many perverts target vulnerable women to gain access to their children, where is the sense in allowing this man to share a space with women? Just imagine how lovely and nice and victimised he'll probably present as. 😡

Miri do you know who would be the proper people to contact about this? I'm guessing not local councillors?

Putting a person who repeatedly sexually assaulted a child into a violent prison where most inmates identify as Mothers is likely to end in violence TBF if they don't put some protection in place.

Sounds to me like he'd need protection from the female prisoners. It's the prison with the highest number of assaults on staff.

It houses some very violent murderers.

I've posted about this over in craicnet too..

Thanks for that information, Dublin Crone.

The Irish Penal Reform Trust have been pushing for male offenders to be allowed in female prisons for a while. Looks like they got their wish www.google.com/amp/s/www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irish-prison-service-slammed-not-12678191.amp

I read the original Sunday World article and it said a judge in the Dundalk circuit court ordered the prisoner to be remanded in the women's prison last Monday (July 15)
The person has 10 convictions of sexual assault on a male child over a period of three years and one conviction for cruelty.
The article also claimed and that the two prison guards are for the protection of the transgender prisoner, to protect them from the women.

Apols for the stilted tone - at home with kids and multi tasking badly.

Popchyk, in Ireland sex offenders are usually not named to protect the identity of their victims. The option to waive anonymity is usually victim's, but there was a recent case where the offender tried to prevent the victim allowing them both to be named. I'll see if I can dig it out.

I wonder how the women officers feel having to 'guard' this man who is a serial sex offender to protect the women prisoners from him?

He must be making their working life hell.

Anybody have any more details?

I must say I'm local, but haven't heard anything about that.

Just reading that boards.ie thread and came across this:

"Same is going on here up North with a middle aged man demanding to be let dress up in his tutu and do ballet lessons with little girls. And a lot more. Childrens ballet class teacher sued & usual hell breaking out. Its not just the insurance industry who are at fault. As one poster has said -when is common sense and basic human dignity and cop on going to click in"

Anybody have any more details?

So because one of the "sacred" is at risk in a mens prison they move them so that a whole prison full of women are at risk.

Well done Ireland for showing you give zero fucks about women.

Interesting also that after centuries of Catholicism the "sacred" trans are now the ideology in favour. All the wokesters will need to get on etsy and buy their trans prayer cards and bin the Mary ones. As an ex Catholic I'm all for dumping it, but in favour of this shit, really?

By that I mean the British Authorities of course, not the woman in the street.

Fucks sake.

The only hope we have is if the Irish are less politely indulgent than the British have been to this nonsense.

"I don’t understand how there is money to pay for 2 guards to escort this Male prisoner, whilst in communal areas of the womens prison, yet they couldn’t facilitate that in the men’s prison?"

This.

Interesting that the male sex offender is not named. They usually are at the time of conviction.

If male sex offenders automatically get anonymity in the media if they claim to be transgender then every single sex offender is going to claim to be transgender.

That is pretty obvious.

How long before he invokes human rights legislation to demand to be able to mix freely with the other female prisoners without extra supervision? He has got away with it so far so why not carry on pushing & pushing until he gets what he really wants?

Bonkers

Haven't seen much discussion of it on twitter (by Irish people apart from Glinner) but its been trending on boards.ie since yesterday morning (www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057998426). That threads actually where I first read about the prison story.

Oh that is good that it is being discussed. I am not on boards so was not aware but was gobsmacked (not) that there was little or no mention on Twitter from the usual TRAs except for one person who called Ricky Gervais a sad and nasty man for his Yaniv tweet.

I'd imagine they're doing it to protect the other prisoners, but it's more cost effective and sensible to keep security around the trans prisoner than to give every woman an individual security guard

Well yes, of course they are, but I’m interested in the way it hasn’t been framed that way in any statement or the article. Clearly women need protecting from this male predator but even then people still tiptoe round with language.
