It'll never happen, shur' look at the "difficulties" the investigation is coming up against the deleting of 999 data not acted upon. The gang circle the blue wagons at each and every opportunity and look after their own always. A great bunch of lads in fairness.

First Encounters: Mark O’Keefe and Paul Moody

I love listening to Paul’s stories about being a guard . . . I don’t know if I’d be able for the incredible focus he has. When Paul tells me about the paperwork, the amount of detail that goes into an investigation, it’s mind-blowing. What really strikes me is the difference between Paul the guard and the Paul who’s been my best friend for 13 years. I know cuddly Paul, fun Paul: he’s a big big guy but he’s very soft.

To be fair, many people are shocked when they discover that a friend is a domestic abuser. It's often very well hidden.

I agree to a certain extent and it's where the saying "street angel, house devil" comes from. But in this case Moody's businessman buddy posted a surety of €8,000 to get this scut out on bail knowing the charges against him.

€8000 bail is small potatoes considering what he was charged with. The mind boggles.
