  • Ruane asleep on the watch on Sparklebox website run by paedophile

    Posted on February 8th, 2010 Conall McDevitt 2 comments

    The Minister for Education did come to the Assembly today to make a statement about Sparklebox. She told us she had launched an investigation into her department’s handling of the issue. She tried to give the impression that this was something they were on top of and that a parent and not I had raised the matter with her.

    I will be tabling a question tomorrow asking for full details of the investigation she has announced. Will report back on that one whenever I get an answer.

    You can see our exchange at 31:40.

      Well, dude, you are not getting a decent turn at the media because THEY forgot to ask, as for Ruane, well, there you go.

      On Slugger they tried to give the impression you picked it up from Judith Reisman & Co.

      You are too young to know the Mary Whitehouse crowd & era etc, you’re just a we’an.

      However, MW would have bin onto it, and she’d have been right.

      She talked a lot of sense, got the PoCA 1978 on the statute books. If it looks morally twisted – it probably is.

      We need a chronology from DENI. Ruane was sent a warning on behalf of Dr. Judith Reisman long before your own AQ. As a local MLA, you should get etc. with an honorable mention for the US expert. It is rude not to publicly acknowedge etc. terribly bad manners etc.
