Innocent Victims Of Violence Ireland
|
Protest at Eason’s, O’Connell Street, Dublin In late September 2010 the “Justice for Robert Delany Campaign” became aware that Eason’s had decided to put on sale a book written by one of the men questioned in relation to the attack on Robert. |
|||
| When this news became available to the wider community, Eason’s was inundated with emails, phone calls, and letters protesting at the decision and requesting Eason’s not to go ahead with the sale of the booked titled “Never Ending Justice”. |  |
||
| Notwithstanding the scale of the protest, Eason’s informed the “Justice for Robert Delany Campaign” they intended to proceed with the sale of the book. In light of this decision, the “Justice for Robert Delany Campaign” organised a peaceful demonstration outside Eason’s on the 1st October 2010. Up to 200 people attended the protest comprising of friends, family, fellow postmen/women colleagues of Robert and a cross section of political activists.
Speaking at the protest, Terry Delany (Robert’s father) said “Eason’s have displayed amazing insensitivity and callous disregard to Robert and his many friends and the many innocent victims of crime in this country, who also have been their loyal customers.” |

He said “it is hard to understand why Eason’s, a company that holds such an important place in the hearts and lives of ordinary Dubliner’s, should allow itself to be used in this way.” Mr Delany called on Eason’s to reconsider and immediately remove all copies of the book from its stores. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr Delany assured the large attendance that the campaign for Justice for Robert would continue until the criminals responsible were prosecuted and in prison and there would be “Never Ending Justice” for Robert.

Letter From Counsellor Joan Collins To Easons Ireland
It has come to my attention that Eason’s is stocking a book called “Never Ending Justice” by a John Noonan. I fully support the democratic right of free speech but in this instance I believe that it is immoral and shameful of Eason’s to stock this book when the author is implicated in the shooting of a work colleague of mine ( I work in An Post) Robert Delany. I also understand that a person is innocent until proven guilty but in this instance the author is implicated and I believe you could withdraw the book on the basis that Eason’s believe that stocking the book is a sensitive issue and could potentially have an adverse effect on Eason’s sales. If this book goes on the shelves I will personally boycott Easons, I shop regularly in it, I regularly use the Café. I will put on my facebook why I am boycotting Eason’s and will encourage all my friend’s to do so. I will request that my Union the CWU, boycott’s Easons and make an appeal to our sister
Hoping for a positive reply and a commitment not to stock this book in any of your stores.
