Michael Linett- retired accountant, one of the directors of the Madeleine fund.
I'm not going to go back and forth debating what the McCann's should or shouldn't have done with the moey for Madeleine. It was entirely up to them, we don't know what was said in the meeting between the directors of the Madeleine fund with the lawyers, so it is a pointless exercise as far as I am concerned. They must have done what was best for them and Madeleine. As for giving some money to other charities at this time, I believe the McCann's have said they will use the money in the fund for private detectives if OG doesn't find Madeleine.
The Pope expressed an interest in the case and wanted to meet the McCann's, they didn't 'hotfoot' as you say, it was probably arranged through Clarence Mitchell. You make it sound as though they asked to go.
Firstly do you concede that you were not talking about Enid O’Dowd but Genma O’Doherty when disparaging her ?
Secondly as Michael Linnett said ‘it was entirely up to them ( the parents) ‘.so it was their decision. I notice though he stops short of saying that he agrees with their decision. Where does this statement come from ?
The pope wanted to meet the McCanns...surely if he had it would have been in a private audience and not part of the general rabble. Cite for the pope wanted to meet the McCanns ?
