We Interview The Only Person Ever Held Accountable For Their Actions In Ireland

YOU COULD be forgiven for thinking the people involved in the illegal trafficking of children from their mothers in Mother & Baby Homes were arrested and jailed. Run through your mind for Ireland’s biggest crimes against vulnerable people, the Celtic Tiger crash, corrupt politicians and you’ll arrive at the same destination; a complete lack of accountability.

Ireland is a curious nation, progressive and wealthy but only the veneer of a just and meritocratic society which doesn’t suffer lightly those who err and commit heinous crimes of such magnitude that they petrify the soul.

Well, this is the reality the cynics sell us, but it isn’t true as one Cormac Clougher can attest to. Clougher may be the outlier of outliers but he has been held accountable for his actions, which have never been forgotten much less forgiven.

“I don’t get how people feel sorry for him, he deserves his punishment and then some” a reluctant neighbour of Clougher’s told WWN.

“I’d happily release 500 murderers out onto the streets if it meant this guy never saw the outside of a cell again” added Clougher’s own mother.

Clougher, for his part, feels his punishment and ostriciastion should come to an end.

“I’m not proud of it, it haunts me knowing the hurt I caused, but I was young and foolish,” Clougher said, drinking from an abandoned pint outside one of the 4,349 pubs he’s banned from in Ireland.

“It was my first shift as a bar man, I was more bar boy as well, n’more than 16 I was. It was a busy night, dirty glasses everywhere I looked. What was I supposed to do when I seen the only clean one in the place,” reasoned Clougher, now 55.

“Beamish, served in a Guinness glass. And with that I’m spat on every day since. Auld grannies saying they’d more respect for mickey flashers outside schools. You know, I used to accept it, but I’m done apologising Beamish in a Guinness glass. Big fucking deal. Will taste the same as when it’s in a Beamish glass,” said Clougher before we reflexively punched him for saying such a thing.
