Is Allen Shatter more Sinister than Missing Documents and Phone Tapping?

I think that most commentators, media personnel, and politicians have missed the fact that Allen Shatter did not have a confidante in his office who could pass on important documents to him. He trusted NO-ONE. A document was processed at the Garda Commissioner's office on March 10 2014 for dispatch to Justice Minister Allen Shatter TD. Allen Shatter should have received that document before he left for Mexico three days later. It is alleged but questionable that Allen Shatter received that letter from the Commissioner 15 days later. I need to bring to the publics attention that the smallest retail outlet on the Island of Ireland has a confidante who would warn the manager or owner that she/he has received a gas bill that needed to be paid immediately. But the Minister in THE most important portfolio of Governance in the Republic of Ireland had no-one in his department to scan his mail for emergencies.

I must now create a scenario which could very well put this country in great danger where our Minister of Justice is not contactable and where attempts have been made to make him aware of a grave situation by his senior civil servants. A letter dispatched by the highest police officer in the land has been waiting on the Minister's response from March 10 2014 until March 25 2014. The letter contains information which may be so serious that it may bring down the state. Minister Allen Shatter is Minister for Justice in the Republic of Ireland.

But something else that needs to be brought to the attention of the Irish electorate is the dual role of the Minister's office. Our defence forces always had a Defence Minister. On  Allen Shatter TD's appointment he took over the ministry of defence. He took over responsibility for our naval forces, our Air core, and our army. Why would any elected representative want to control our policing service, our naval service, our Air Force? Also our police stations. And our telecommunications service with listening devices recording 16,000 conversations?

 

Now what happens if our military chiefs wish to pass on intelligence information to the Minister which is a matter of urgent state security but for that reason needs to be communicated in writing by personal courier? I mean intelligence of a grave nature such as the Russian fleet posing a threat to this country. Or an imminent terrorist attack on Dublin. But Mr Shatter is in the Bahamas. Can we be confident that this serious communication can be delivered to the Minister immediately? Perhaps the decision to amalgamate this countries justice and defence ministries should be reviewed? After all what benefit is there in joining the two? It can't be much of a financial saving. One Minister's salary from the multi million euro budget of the two ministries? If there is no budgetary advantage WHY would one TD be given two posts? Power? Control?
