On Friday's UK Column News, Alex Thomson announced publication of the
transcript of David Scott's extended interview with Brian and Janice
Docherty. At over 250 pages, this was a huge amount of work by Alex and
his team of UK Column members, all of whom are owed a huge thanks.
The transcription of the interview is available here.
Please distribute it as far and wide as you can. We appreciate it is a
big read, but even reading the table of contents gives a great overview
of the case.
Alex's team formed following our announcement that the Docherty case
should be treated as an open source investigation. So far, the response
has been superb, with information coming in thick and fast. That
information is already being used to motivate MPs, MEPs, the police, the
judiciary and other public authorities, and we must also thank everyone
who has contributed to that effort.
But they need more help. They have identified ten main questions they
need answers to. If you have any information which can help, please
contact the team by email at dochertyinvestigation@ukcolumn.org
1. Is Bridgeen Smith/Smyth, the TUSLA manager at Letterkenny who was
apparently drafted in to deal with the Dochertys (as she is not on the
CORU register in Letterkenny), in fact the wife of Northern Regional
Director John Smith/Smyth?
The Dochertys have seen both use two surname variants, oddly enough.
2. Who in the Irish Government is trying to urge the Dochertys to place
all the blame on Mary Malee in Mayo in order to deflect from Dublin?
3. What is the relationship between Sergeant John Forkan and Maria
Houston (alias Heuston), the unqualified woman whom the Dochertys
believe to have been “caring” for their son Christian? Has
Houston/Heusten a military background?
4. What is the background and motivation of Donegal lawyer Liza Finegan?
5. What is the current professional practice status and practice location of psychiatrist Ciarán Smyth?
6. What is the current official and the current actual practice
location of Donegal/Derry social worker Gabrielle McDaid? Was she
registered to practice social work in the Republic of Ireland before
June 2016? Has she ever had regular social work employment in Donegal
(or elsewhere in the Republic), or only in Northern Ireland?
7. What is Judge Paul Kelly’s background with the Roman Catholic church?
8. Since Irish court-appointed guardian ad litem Patricia Molony does
not drive, which police or other persons took her and the Docherty
children from the Republic of Ireland, via Northern Ireland, to Scotland
and back for the Docherty children’s attendance of the funeral of their
maternal grandmother (McLaren) in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, in January
2016? Who authorised this at Police Scotland and PSNI?
9. Which (Irish, British or foreign) entities and persons purchased the
(State tax-relieved) stately home of Lawton House in Moneygall, County
Offaly for the previous Minister for Children and Youth Affairs in the
Republic of Ireland, James Reilly, since he is a known bad debtor?
And which entities and persons previously purchased for Reilly, in a
“non-recourse” investment arrangement, the care home which he previously
owned, Greenhill Nursing Home in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary? (See
here, here, here and here.)
10. Can the public notify the team of any people connected with any of
the characters in this transcript who are known or reasonably suspected:
• to be police, military or intelligence informants;
• to have an allegiance to Freemasonry, to any criminal group or
political gangsters, or to (a Scottish or Irish diocese of) the Roman
Catholic church that is much stronger than they publicly intimate;
• or to be living a lie about his or her denominational affiliation,
(sources of) wealth, political loyalty or attitude, sexuality or
nationality?
In addition, the team would like ot know the Roman Catholic church
intelligence role of Robert CASSIDY (Scot close to IRA), Neil McKAY
(Edinburgh), John and Neil DOHERTY (Antrim, no relation to the
Dochertys), Enda SHERLOCK (brother of Seán the TD), Carmel McGILLOWAY
(Derry), Cormac KEONE (Derry), or John and Yvonne HARTNETT (Derry)?
Is Glen CRAWFORD working for PSNI?
Is social work team leader Eilish CRAWFORD-QUAILE from Scotland or a psychiatrist?
