What Angela Power-Disney said about Sgt Maurice McCabe

Yesterday we reported that Angela Power-Disney claims she “blew the whistle” on Sgt Maurice McCabe at some point prior to 2015. While searching for anything to back up this extraordinary claim, we discovered the following video, published on on 11 November 2014 on APD’s main YouTube channel:

The video, titled “Garda “WHISTLEBLOWER” Sergeant Maurice McCabe, Declan McCabe, Mickie & Joey Curran”, contains the following liner notes:

and the rumoured dissident patrols….

Couple people off on a technicality already whoops I say GERRY on video but you know I mean Maurice….and so on

and volume and not mad mode can be fixed tomorrow but now this is off my chest I’ll try to sleep….
TIME TO GET HONEST, REPENTANT, PAY YOUR DEBTS AND STOP THE FEAR, INTIMIDATION, CORRUPTION, COVER-UP AND MORALE DESTROYING OF THE FEW GOOD MEN & WOMEN STILL DOING THEIR BEST…..whichever cap fits and all of course allegedly but Jesus knows the nation knows and so do you……the path of least pain and greatest piece is not DAMAGE LIMITATION truth whole truth nothing but truth and CHANGE please

Interesting to note that APD was no more coherent in her pre-Hoaxtead days than she is now. So much for the theory that joining the Hoaxtead mob drove her round the bend.

The video’s sound quality is abysmal, but through the help of a good pair of earphones, and by dint of sacrificing his hearing, one of our team members was able to make out what Angie is saying here.

She starts off with the usual pseudo-religious waffle, detours briefly to note that she and her family don’t get along, and then gets down to the slagfest.

First up: someone named Mickie Curran, who Angela apparently believes was involved in “petrol-stretching” (diluting petrol with kerosene and selling it at the same price; this can have a disastrous impact on a car’s engine):

So Mickey and Joey with the petrol thing, enough. Enough. You’ve got a woman who loves you, you’ve got a family, you’ve got children, you may forget your reputation….

There used to be glory in doing naughty shit and getting away with it, and everybody knows and so like,“oh well he got away with that”…well you didn’t get away with it.

It’s been going on for years, I’ve had engines blown for years, and your announcement at the meeting that tests prove that your petrol is 100%…well, it’s not what I heard, I don’t really care…this is not raising money for freedom fighting, this is raising money for your Porsche.

To be fair to APD, it does look as though there is at least some truth to her allegation about Mr Curran:

However, after a longish rant which included references to Mr Curran’s family and his reputation in the community, Angie ends on an interesting note:

When you admitted it laughingly, I said, “You know what, just throw a hundred euros in the Kenya Project, and we’ll just forget it”. And you couldn’t even do that, you arrogant shit!

So apparently Angela is now in the business of selling dispensations? If Mr Curran would only agree to fork over some cash, Angie would stop badmouthing him in public. But he wouldn’t, so he gets the Royal Treatment on Angie’s video channel. Care for a little blackmail with your tea, Mr Curran?

Allegations about Sgt Maurice McCabe and his brother

Having dispensed with Mr Curran, Angela moves on to Sgt Maurice McCabe, whom she inexplicably calls “Gerry”. However, for the sake of clarity we’ll correct that here:

Maurice McCabe heralded and hailed…as “poor Maurice, blew the whistle on expunging penalty points and tax evasion”, well I’m sorry, that’s very hard for us to let go of that kind of stuff…and given what’s going on with the country, who would blame us? That’s why that joke was so funny, “Irish accountant, is there such thing?” because evading tax and looking out for each other and disappearing, oh that’s just favours—maybe we need to grow up and stop that.

But Maurice McCabe, come on.

I want to know why you’re covering up or seem to be covering up for your outrageous drug-dealing brother Declan, okay, and I’m sorry for Steven and the kids, but you know what? You’re a Gard, and your brother inherited a family business that should have been enough. And you know we all had the Crash, and we didn’t all go into drug dealing. And cannabis? Personally I don’t know what you’re dealing. I don’t think cannabis is a big deal. I don’t condone it, but it’s not a killer, but you know what’s a killer? It’s the brutality of what you have to do to keep your secret and build your empire and get richer and richer and have more and more protection and have all of Mountnugent mobilised on your behalf, and thinking that it’s still honourable to threaten people to leave the country and they’ll get killed if they talk.

No it’s not honourable, and you guys, it was honourable maybe when you were…freedom fighters. That’s not RA (Republican Army), that’s somebody throwing you a few quid to go and scare somebody. No! Stop it. That’s bullying, that’s nasty. Don’t do that, stop it. Both of you stop it….

You’ve had two lads die, they’re just pawns, disposable human beings. You know, and then covered it up, Maurice McCabe….There’s ways to do this, and sorry, I’ve given plenty of people some opportunity to do it, but everyone’s holding their breath. Nobody wants to say there’s a huge amount of corruption in the Gardaí. And it’s not okay. So clean it up and sort it out. Stop it. And don’t harass me. No, you know what? Don’t harass me.

Angela appears to be referring to a double homicide which took place in April 2014 in Cavan. According to the Irish Independent News,

Gardai have issued an alert through Interpol for three foreign nationals they wish to question about the murders of Eoin O’Connor, 32, and Anthony Keegan, 32, whose remains were discovered last Monday.

The two Dubliners disappeared after travelling to Cavan on April 22.

Gardai believe the two men visited Sheelin Cottage, which was innocently let to the foreign nationals by local businessman Declan McCabe, a brother of Garda Sergeant Maurice McCabe.

The two men were debt collectors for a drug dealer, were murdered by person or persons unknown, and their bodies hidden on an island on the nearby lake. As far as we can tell, the only connection Declan McCabe had to this crime was that he “innocently let” his cottage to the murdered men’s bosses. If Angela has information which would implicate anyone in the murder, she has had two years in which to tell the Gardaí about it.

Instead, she has chosen to viciously slander two men, one of whom has already endured a relentless campaign of slander and undermining, for the crime of being what Angie wishes she were: a true whistle-blower.
