the heelers interview with former irish president mary mcaleese

After former President Mary McAleese was reported at various public events over the past few weeks repeatedly referring to Catholic priests as "fake hetero misogynistic homophobic gays," and similar more colloquial slurs implying homosexuality, she agreed to be interviewed for the Heelers diaries to clarify her position.
The following is a transcript of that interview.

James Healy: "You are being widely reported this week as suggesting that people who disagree with your views on the innateness of homosexuality must all be homosexuals."

Mary McAleese: "Yes. They're all secretly homosexual if they don't agree with me. Closet cases every one. Although I prefer the more respectful technical term, arse bandits."

James Healy: "So how do you respond to someone who tells you that there is no scientific indicator or experiential indicator for asserting that homosexuality is an innate naturally occurring phenomenon?"

Mary McAleese: "Fag!"

James Healy: "Ok-a-ay. How do you respond to a person who says they formerly thought they were homosexual, but that they now believe the causality for what they thought arose from confusion at their experience of the popular culture, certain life events, a fraught puberty, and indeed the internal stresses of their own particular family life, and that this image of themselves as being attracted to people of the same gender was temporary and did not continue into their adult life and was not truly who they were or are?"

Mary McAleese: "Gaybos the lot of them."

James Healy: The scientists saying that feminisation of males and masculinisation of females is occurring in the animal kingdom due to chemical factors???"

Mary McAleese: "Bunch of poufters."

James Healy: "The senior executive engineer at Kildare County Council, a mother of three children, who stated that she was concerned children are being exposed in school programmes to speculations about sexual identity before they've had a chance to grow naturally into any sexuality at all, and that the children aren't getting a chance to have a childhood, and that the speculations them're being subjected to may be causing orientations of a homosexual nature?

Mary McAleese: "What a dyke!"

James Healy: "And people who say their own understanding of their own sexual orientation was disrupted through the experience of various forms of abuse in their childhood?"

Mary McAleese: "Shower of queers. They were queer anyway. They need to accept it and stop making excuses. If I say they're queer they're queer."

James Healy: "And when pharmacologists suggest that chemicals in contraceptive pills and growth hormones being introduced to the human food chain by farmers are affecting people's perception of their sexual orientation, do you still say..."

Mary McAleese: "Be-n-n-n-n-nnnders."

James Healy: "And the physicians who confirm parental testimony that exposure from a young age to speculations about sexual identity are leading young people to imagine identities that are not intrinsically who they are?"

Mary McAleese: "Just another self loathing bunch of fairies."

James Healy: "The psychologists asserting that pornography is disrupting people's sexualities? The psychologists saying that the sexualities, self image, and perceived orientation of people of all age groups are being manipulated by cultural factors? The psychologists who say that pornography and the bombardment with sexual images through television, cinema, internet and music videos, are disruptive to the sexual formation of a generation, acting as aversion therapy on some, effectively sterilising others, and making yet more incapable of being at ease in their gender?"

Mary McAleese: "Collossal woopsies."

James Healy: "And the law enforcement professionals who've dealt with drug addicts and have observed that serious drug use can alter perceptions of sexual preference?"

Mary McAleese: "Gay cops. They really give me the willies."

James Healy: "If I said to you that many people go through a phase of thinking they're homosexual. But it is just a phase. What would you say to that?"

Mary McAleese: "I'd say you're a woofter."

James Healy: "But how do you respond if people simply ask you could you be wrong?"

Mary McAleese: "I call em nancy boys."

James Healy: "But could you be wrong?"

Mary McAleese: "Shut up, you lisping queen."

James Healy: "And if I asked you to elaborate on any of the points you've made by giving a scientific or rationally derived justification for your views?"

Mary McAleese: "Pansy."

James Healy: "Er, fine. So it's not just Catholic priests you label homosexual if they disagree with you. It's everyone."

Mary McAleese. "That's right. There's nought as queer as folk who disagree with me."

James Healy: "You're bullying people Mrs McAleese. You know well that males, particularly young males, will simply fall silent if you threaten to call them homosexuals."

Mary McAleese: "You shirt lifting pervert."

James Healy: "And if I say to you that liberal left wing atheistic abortionist contraceptivist journalist Katherine Holmquist wrote in the Irish Times a few years ago stating that "the sexuality is a movable feast," implying that a person's perceptions of sexual preference can change, and are not written in stone..."

Mary McAleese: "Katherine Holmquist is a lesbo dom femme butch sapphic crotch meister."

James Healy: "What do you say to my personal testimony to you that young males can be affected in their self image by bullying? How do you respond to the assertion that the Gay Rights movement of which you are a part has hijacked the bullying issue to promote a lifestyle? How do you  answer the suggestion that by telling kids they're being bullied because they are homosexual you are basically endorsing and compounding the bullies attempts to project their own sexual fears onto other people? Aren't these things worth considering Mrs McAleese?"

Mary McAleese: "Bennyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

James Healy: Mrs McAleese, what do you think of those who have noted a heavily lesbian atmosphere in women's tennis and who have attributed it to the athletes' use of steroids? They say that if steroid use has caused lesbianism in the likes of Billy Jean King, Martina Navratilova et al, then at least in those cases, we can't say that lesbianism is an inherent part of their identity, no more than taking steroids is."

Mary McAleese: "Heelers you never were any good at tennis."

James Healy: "You evil nazi bitch. Take that back. You ****ing ****. You sh*te faced b*st*rding hoor."

Mary McAleese: "Admit it. Your first serve was never any good. And you couldn't play top spin to save your life."

James Healy: "It's true. It's true. Oh boo hoo hoo... (Dabbing his eyes with a silk handkerchief.) Mrs McAleese?"

Mary McAleese: "What?"

James Healy: "Why, in pretending to be an advocate for people who consider themselves homosexual, why I ask, why, do you use the attribution of homosexuality as a weapon to intimidate those who disagree with you? Why do you use the word gay as a pejorative? Why do you use homosexuality as a term of abuse?"

Mary McAleese: "My own son is gay. Who are you to judge me? I love my son. If I have to smash the Catholic Church, and you, and the whole world, I'll do it for him."

James Healy: "You're not helping your son by arrogating to yourself a certainty and an expertise which your views don't merit. Nor are you helping him or anyone else when you attempt to demean and intimidate the best among us, by which I mean priests and the priesthood. In any case, I have to ask, how have you established your understanding of your son's sexual preference and its permanence?"

Mary McAleese: "He asked me for a hoover for Christmas when he was a little boy." (Mrs McAleese has actually stated this in real life.)

James Healy: So all of us should lay aside our own life experience, wisdom, insight, scientific knowledge, consultation with friends, spiritual meditations and reverence for the ancient church and let you decide what the truth is about homosexuality?

Mary McAleese: You should if you don't want me go call you a rump ranger.

apologia pro vignettes mea

The church is still and silent.
Me bowed in the front pew asking the Almighty for things.
"I've got some Len Deighton books for you," whispers Father Baines appearing out of nowhere.
"I'm wading through a Robert Fisk word heap at the moment Father," says I.
"Great isn't he!" says the priest.
"Do you actually like him?" exclaimeth I aghast.
"I think he's brilliant," enthuses Father Baines.
"Et tu Padre!" I intone bitterly. "Then fall Heelers."

an open letter to ireland's chief of police drew harris

Drew Harris.

On May 8th 2016, Malak Thawley, a Syrian woman married to an American, was murdered at Hollis Street hospital in Dublin via a deliberately inflicted slash wound to her artery during a routine medical operation to remove an ectopic pregnancy.
Malak Thawley was let bleed out on the operating table by her murderers.
The Thawley family have received independent expert medical advice that the death of Malak Thawley was not accidental.
In September 2018 the High Court Judge Charles Meenan issued an illegal ruling which forced the Irish government to abandon a public enquiry into the death of Malak Thawley.
Mr Harris I have asked you before and I'm asking you again, to investigate the murder of Malak Thawley and to press charges against her murderer.

On May 8th 2018, an 18 year old girl called Jessica Sheedy was murdered at Limerick hospital during a routine operation to remove a benign tumour in her abdomen by a doctor calling himself Ashish Lal. After  inflicting a slash wound to her aorta, Ashish Lal refused to let his medical team summon help. For twenty minutes he prevented help being summoned as Jessica Sheedy bled out on the operating table.
Help was summoned eventually in spite of his efforts to prevent it, when Nurse Elaine Lyons phoned another doctor and begged him to come to the operating theatre.
Theatre nurses Catherine Brown and Elaine Lyons have both stated in the Coroner's Court that Ashish Lal refused to allow them to summon help as Jessica Sheedy bled out on the operating table. Elaine Lyons broke down in court.
It is indeed distressing to be forced to watch someone committing murder.
Doctor Helen Earley confirmed Elaine Lyons' testimony to the Coroner's Court and added that Ashish Lal had also refused to permit Dr Helen Earley herself to get help. Dr Helen Earley told the coroner's court that she was just a trainee at the time.
In the phone call which Ashish Lal tried to prevent, Nurse Elaine Lyons summoned another doctor, Dr Eamon Kavanagh, on her own initiative who stitched up the wound inflicted by Ashish Lal. Jessica Sheedy lived another three days before dying on the 11th May 2018.
Dr Eamon Kavanagh stated to the Coroner's Court that it was very unusual for him not to have been informed in advance of such a surgery. Dr Eamon Kavanagh also stated that the normal procedure would have been to have a vascular support team on standby for such an operation.
In another particularly vile criminal act, Ashish Lal had been filming his murder of Jessica Sheedy in order to keep the footage as a trophy.
Okay Mr Harris.
Ashish Lal illegally filmed his murder of Jessica Sheedy. You need to obtain this footage and all copies of it.
Ashish Lal deliberately staged the operation without the required back up team being in place so that there would be no hope of rescue for Jessica Sheedy when he murdered her.
Ashish Lal punctured Jessica Sheedy's aorta in order to murder her, and forbid the clinical team in the operating theatre from helping the teenage girl he was murdering before their eyes.
Mr Harris, I want you investigate this matter and to charge Ashish Lal with the murder of Jessica Sheedy.

I also want you to investigate the doctor styled Andrea Hermann for the murders, tortures and violations which Andrea Hermann committed for over a decade in various Irish hospitals. Andrea Hermann has been struck off the Medical Register since 2017. about a decade too late for most of her victims.

Mr Harris, you guys need to stop saying none of our business when murders are committed in a hospital.
The deference of doctors to other doctors means the Irish Medical Council, the Health Boards, the Hospital Administrations, the Nurses union and the Coroner's Court will never accuse a doctor of murder.
Murder committed in a hospital is still murder Mr Harris.
That leaves just you and me.
Mr Harris it's time to start working for a living.
You're a police officer.
This is your ******* job.
Thank you for your time.
James Healy

Subject: attention Colm Keane/Una O'Hagan re Lourdes book
To: <capelislandpress@hotmail.com>


Dear Folks.
I've bought most of Colm Keane's spiritually themed books. I bought the
Padre Pio one several times as a gift for different people.
I'm not a fan of your writing or analysis. But I really enjoy your subject
matter.
Some thoughts on the Lourdes book which I purchased the moment I saw it last week in the Silverware Newbridge.
1. The first half of it is quite a good book. The second half reads like
filler.
2. Your use of already refuted slanders about Pope Pius 12th is poor. I
would refer you to the writings of Rabbi Dalin on this matter.
3. Your use of certain leftist critiques of Archbishop John Charles McQuaid
was also poor. You say he forced the cancellation of a football match with
"communist" Yugoslavia. I think we can all agree Yugoslavia was communist without inverted commas. Did you bother to acquaint yourself with the routine murders, tortures and random incarcerations by the communist regime of Yugoslavia from World War Two up to 1992 particularly against Catholic priests and nuns, but also quite substantially against other citizens in Yugoslavia at the time you alleged Archbishop McQuaid was authoritarian in supposedly forcing a football match to be cancelled?
4. You say Archbishop McQuaid enthusiastically implemented a ban on Catholics attending Trinity College. This, if your assessment is true, was part of the historical context of the time, involving a substantial amount of culpable prejudice and wrong doing against Catholics by the authorities running Trinity College, and involving a residue of sometimes legitimate distrust which arose from our experiences as a colony of Britain. The ban which you incorrectly imply arose at the hands of Archbishop McQuaid was far older and was in fact often set aside on request.
5, In further slandering Archbishop McQuaid you adopt the RTE, Irish Times, congential leftwing perspective on his opposition to the socialist policies of government Minister Noel Browne. You are perhaps presuming a lot when you presume this analysis is endorsed in every quarter.
6. You wrongly label Archbishop McQuaid authoritarian, manipulative, and manoeuvring. Yet you fail to apply any such adjectives or any critique at all to other controversial figures such as De Valera and his ilk, when you describe them. You take a strangely rose tinted view of political figures who inflicted civil war murders and tortures on Ireland. Your tendentious negative comments are reserved for Archbishop McQuaid and Pope Pius 12th.
7. The sequence about the Hollywood actress June Haver ends with the assertion following your description of the death of her husband, that she had at last found the happiness which had always eluded her. You might want to reconsider your twee phrasing and the positioning of your twee phrasing in this instance.
8. The writing about Princess Grace and John F Kennedy is awful. For heaven's sake have mercy. Let those cliches rest in peace.
9. The cover of the book is lovely. You could consider naming an artist with regard to the image. The attribution to a company that designed the book cover is dissatisfying. But it is a lovely cover.
Best wishes.
I'll probably be buying your next half good fervourless concatenation of filler too.

break of day

leafen wood enwintered
by a soft ice surplice
fallen forth on timbers
in a fronded fretwork charabanc
that neath a network braided
steaming cattle breathed
earthen kingdoms frothed
into dying into life
on with the motley
rejoice rejoice
