Excerpt from recording by confiscated video camera in a Garda vehicle on March 31st, 2011, after the arrest of two women at Aughoose for public order-related offences relating to the Corrib gas project.
“Crusty camp†is a reference to the Rossport Solidarity Camp where the two women had been staying.
Garda A: “Who is them two lassies, do you know the two of them?
Garda B: “I don’t know the second one, the first one is (name) with blonde hair.â€
Unidentified garda: “She was up on the tractor earlier on.â€
Garda A: “It’d do no harm to get the second one’s name again?
Garda B: “She’s some Yank. I don’t know who the f**k she is.â€
Unidentified garda : “ Is she a Yank?
Garda B: “It sounds like it, it sounds like it, the accent anyway
Unidentified garda: “Sounds like a Yank or Canadian.â€
Garda B: “Well whoever, we’ll get Immigration f**king on her.â€
Garda A: “She refused to give her name and address and told she would be arrested.â€
Garda B : “.......and deportedâ€
Garda A: “And raped.â€
Garda B: “I wouldn’t go that far yet….. She was living down at that crusty camp, f**k sake, you never know what you might get.â€
(Laughter)
Garda A: “Give me your name and address or I’ll rape you.â€
(Laughter)
Unidentified garda: “Hold it there, give me your name and address there, I’ll rape you.â€
(Laughter)
Garda A : œOr I’ll definitely rape you.â€
Unidentified garda: “Will you be me friend on Facebook?â€
