The transcript hereunder is of a series of recorded telephone calls which are pertinent to a particular case in this Parish but which were refused a hearing...one has to only read the aforementioned transcript and understand why.We here in CW have the calls on CD Rom and more than happy to issue copies to interested parties, something which was done some time ago as is.
Read and dare we say, enjoy...especially where the nun tells the priest she loves him!!!
You couldn't make it up!!

Fr. Larry White and brother Tommy White (Italics)
Your Christian values are very, very em…….Larry .I’m annoyed, I don’t want to say more than I really…..I don’t want to say it……..out in the hall to her but she wasn’t having that apologies are no good to the Whites they have their fuckin pound of flesh that is what you’s want.
Well that is not the reason I rang Tommy because Tommy if you have, you have
David and Siobhan, listen hold on, hold on Jesus I’m an awful person will you please accept me back into your company is that why you rang?
No I didn’t, no I didn’t Tommy, Tommy I rang in the hope that as two brothers we could talk this over and try and find a way forward together but if you don’t want to that’s you know, that’s sad and you have Siobhan and David’s christening coming up which is a very important event em, and its not even just for that if there’s any chance, I mean ok there was force and you feel wronged there are other sides to it as well
You just want to remind of that
No hold on Tommy you have, you, you fairly laid it out in front of me so at least I wouldn’t bother, I’ve laid it out as I know it
Yeah, Yeah as you see it
I don’t know what you are talking about what is the other side I did lose my head and I did say some very unpleasant things I didn’t deserve to be beaten half to death for that and a cover up to follow
Well there was no cover up Tommy I think, I think if you think you were the only one who was a Victim there that night well then I was the victim
Tommy you were extremely insulting
Yes I accept that
And would you blame Pat for having a go……do you think that by saying sorry then it was all over
Get out of my house you have insulted my wife
Yeah he was right Tommy but Tommy you were very insulting to her
So this gives Eamon the right
No it doesn’t give Eamon the right at all
I’ll tell you one thing he wouldn’t have done it to the Tommy White that was around 6 years ago he wouldn’t have his life now he wouldn’t have done it to me
I’ve lost an awful lot a hell of a lot and a fucking thug like him thinks he can take advantage of me now he is a very very lucky young fellow not young fellow, old man, he is a very lucky fucking animal I can tell you that. Very, very lucky.
Why do you say that?
People were going to go down and do a job on him and I had to put my absolute maximum restraint on them and its not fine with them yet they saw the state of me of course not that you fucking bothered to find out not a phone call
Tommy I rang you the next day
Not as much as a phone call all week
Tommy that’s not true I rang you the next day
You did not
I did so
Did not
And I rang David the next day
You did not
You ask David, you ask David
He rang you
No that’s not true Tommy I rang David
I take my sons word before yours any day of the week Larry
OK well Tommy if that’s the way you wish to leave it em, that’s your choice
Right ok I must be saying something terribly different to what I’ve already said
Nothing has been said to me not as much as a fucking suggestion of an apology
For the torture I went through. Not as much as a suggestion. I don’t know if you have you ever had five broken ribs on top of six already previously broken and a broken collarbone and a fracture of the skull. I don’t know if you have ever been through that.
Well I mean if you had all of those injuries why are you not in hospital?
I will tell you why I am not in hospital I refused to go into hospital because I was told I’d be lying on a trolley for 3 nights before I would get a bed that’s why and that’s the only reason why and there is no hospital that will cure broken ribs. The reason they wanted me in hospital was under observation for the state of my skull and also the fear that my ribs would collapse and I wouldn’t be able to breathe so I can show you the apparatus that they gave me to take home so I had
to take every hour on the hour all night to help me to be sure I kept breathing. Do you want to
see that more proof?
No, I’m not.
More suspicions why weren’t you in hospital
Well I mean Tommy if you had a fractured skull you would be, you would have been in hospital.
I had a hairline fracture of the skull which is nothing they can do about either because that unfortunately is the first thing to heal itself. The second was the fear of the five fractures – I’ve got the report. I only going to see you to to show you the Hospital report. You don’t believe me.
Well Tommy did you also know that Eamon didn’t have any shoes on? Now did you know that?
Well he must have been very quick Eamon must have been very easily removed the Shoes
Tommy he had no shoes on
He had shoes on. I’ll tell you one thing he’s a terrific kick boxer that’s all I can say
He had no shoes on
So ok my ribs and my right hand side remember I fell down on my left, my ribs on my right hand side failed and broke themselves and so did my collarbone and so did I receive a hairline fracture to the skull that was all on the opposite side to what I fell on. Maybe I punched myself half to death. Did I?
No, I’m just telling you that Tommy.
You’re just telling me you don’t believe a word of what I’m saying that’s what you’re doing.
Look it doesn’t matter whether I believe it or not if you have that, and you have the evidence.
I will come around and show you what the fucking hospital says right? I will show it to you. I was going to write to you anyway just to tell you that I’m finished with you but I’ll do it face to face.
I don’t need to meet face to face if you saying that we are finished I only feel like meeting if we can find some resolution to this Tommy and you are the man that deals with resolutions and you know quite well that it does none of us any good to carry on a bitterness and a hatred.
Face to face if over some cup of coffee is going to put apologies from my mind what happened to me. Now we are told all of a sudden. Funny you never said that to Larry er, or to David when he spoke to you that Eamon wasn’t wearing any shoes, this delay, Claire never said it to me when I spoke to her either.
Well I mean how do you know what I spoke to David about?
David called me
David wouldn’t tell you everything Tommy
My son would tell me everything God yes, you seem to know everything about it
I don’t, I don’t Tommy, I don’t but I see no point in meeting if we are just going to start slagging at each other.
I said I’ll meet you if you want to meet me I’ll meet you and I reserve the right to say what I feel like saying at the time when I meet you. I certain would like to or if you are happy enough for me to post a copy of the Hospital report I will do that anyway.
No look I made the original offer and I was hoping that we could meet and at least not treat each other like as if we were total strangers. I mean if you want to continue it like that Tommy ok.
Well I suggest that we meet in about a month and you call me again right. Bye.
Is that all right with you?
All right maybe you might try and phone me this time.
No I won’t be phoning you Larry. I said yes I’ll meet you, right, I said yes I’ll meet you right now if that is not good enough for you I suggest you call me again in a month and maybe I won’t be feeling as sore and have the pain I have every day of the fucking and all night and having to take painkillers and all sorts of drugs and going around like a fucking with all the different painkillers stuff that I’m taking drugs to prevent the effects of drugs.
OK Tommy
If you want to meet me I’ll meet you
OK
But I won’t give any guarantee what I’ll say to you.
No ok well
The only thing I can guarantee is that I won’t fucking beat you up the way he beat me up that’s one absolute guarantee.
Well Tommy, I mean, maybe, maybe you are right maybe let’s leave it for a
month because if, if, if you’re still angry and hurt and
You can call that one
Pardon
You can call that one
OK I will, OK, bye
