NO DUBLIN WEST TD ATTENDED TODAY'S VIGIL FOR ALEXANDER COUGHLAN (one TD lives a 20 second walk from vigil and murder location)
By Susanne Delaney
At the time of writing I have found no indication that TDs (one is also a Senior Minister) care that an innocent man was senselessly and callously murdered on their doorstep and I know for a fact not one attended today's vigil.
I understand why they are silent, and quite frankly, it can only be described as inhumanity on top of the inhumanity of those charged with the crime.
Inhumanity from elected politicians who, in my view, place protecting themselves and certain narratives and agendas above being decent and honest human beings. Above the rights of their community and the loved ones left behind after Alexander Coughlan's untimely and tragic departure from this world. A world he occupied peacefully.
In the case of GREEN PARTY TD (and ex minister) RODERIC O' GORMAN this inconceivably cruel crime took place LITERALLY on his doorstep -just 20 seconds walk away from his home.
PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT'S RUTH COPPINGER apparently offered scant and meagre sympathies around 5 or 6 days after the initial attack that resulted in Mr. Coughlan ultimately losing his precious, rich and meaningful young life (he was just 37). There was no outrage. No protests. No action called for. The brief and alleged (she has me blocked) condolences were, seemingly, borne out of cynical self serving political box ticking.
Conversely, Coppinger immediately went on social media in the wake of Congalese man Yves Sakila's death. She stated conclusively that he was "killed" in a racially motivated crime. Yves Sakila's autopsy was inconclusive and toxicology tests have been ordered. The results will be forthcoming in a few weeks.
This doesn't seem to matter to Coppinger, nor does the pertinent established facts around Yves Sakila's lengthy criminal career and the elderly man whose hip he broke, and there may well be far more to Sakila's death than excessive force.
But facts and ongoing investigations be damned. She has had a Sakila vigil and protests to organise. Appropriating future votes from the imported BAME community takes effort you know? Quite literally speculating (and misleading?) to accumulate.
I'd like to add I take NO pleasure in Yves Sakila's death whatsoever, but what happened to blameless Alexander Coughlan was inarguably vicious murder. Yves Sakila, was not murdered, and it was not racially motivated (some of the security were foreign themselves).
It is worth noting, Coppinger had no issue intently appropriating votes from the Castleknock Community, despite her communist views on affluence. She gained a seat in Castleknock as a councillor in the local elections, prior to her winning a TD seat later that same year.
FIANNA FAIL MINISTER JACK CHAMBERS also appropriated many votes from Castleknock as did LEO VARDAKAR replacement FINE GAEL'S EMER CURRIE. All three of these people are FROM Castleknock but, as far as I can tell, have had no word to say about Alexander Coughlan who lived there.
Chambers was too busy at Golf Charity match. As for Emer Currie, she appeared from no where to take a seat that was left primed for her to step into. She has not been seen or heard from since and perhaps should be reported as missing in in "IN-action".
Lastly SINN FEIN'S PAUL DONNELLY is also silent. Donnelly, like Coppinger, was vocal in the aftermath of George Nchenko's death. Armed Nchenko was shot by Gardaí after he lunged at them with a knife. Nchenko had been the perpetrator of a robbery and assault that took place at a supermarket in Hartstown, Dublin 15 earlier in the day. Following his death, there was outrage amongst the black community. Violent protests followed in which staff at the supermarket were targeted (and had to lock themselves in) as well as people in the local community.
Everyone should DEMAND answers from these TDs. I will post contact details in comments.
