Talk:Morris Tribunal

Untitled
The Morris tribunal takes place against probably the most overarching reform of An Garda Síochana in its history, the Garda Síochána Act 2005, which established the Garda Ombudsman Commission. So far, it has resulted in the resignations of several senior officers in the force, including one Chief Superintendent and three Superintendents, after they were criticised for negligence, as well as the firing of another Superintendent found to be corrupt. Several other present and former officers of various ranks have been criticised for negligence, found to have lied, or been found to have acted corruptly.

Copyedit urgently required!
"The Tribunal has been staggered by the amount of indiscipline and insubordination it has found in the Garda force. There is a small but disproportionately influential core of mischief-making members who will not obey orders, who will not follow procedures, who will not tell the truth and who have no respect for their officers. Garda Martin Leonard is cited in this regard - applying to arrest a colleague in an investigation in which he was not involved, not wearing his uniform, lying at will and continually testing the waters as to the vulnerability of his colleagues[9]. The behaviour of three garda witnesses, Sgt Conaty, Garda Mulligan and Garda Martin Leonard in all of this beggars belief; and yet it happened in the course of a Tribunal hearing that was much extended by their dissimulation, the Tribunal was used a sounding board for deceit in the hope that it too could be inveigled into believing lies. White stated in a media interviews that the Tribunal findings against him, were based on "hearsay, innuendo and rumour", - rather than the thousands of documents admitted as evidence and hundreds of days at hearing[10]."

This is presented as if it's part of the article, but I seem to recognise it as being an extract or extracts from one of the Tribunal reports (some of which I have read). It is a breach of WP guidelines to print stuff like this without putting it in quotes, because it violates WP:NPOV on so many levels I can't begin to count them. If whoever posted this stuff would care to place it in its proper context, would he/she do so? Otherwise I will either have to trawl through the reports myself and do the edit, which I'd rather not do, or else I will have to cut it, which would be a shame as in the context of being remarks by Justice Morris it's good stuff. However, placing this stuff on Wikipedia and not making it clear that it is a quote is amateur hour. If my memory is wrong and this is in fact someone's paraphrase of Morris which is being offered up as an encyclopedia article, that's rank amateur hour. Lexo (talk) 18:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
