My name is Paul Gallagher the father of little Paul who was unlawfully killed at the Atlantis Beach in 2002 not 2003. Atlantis Resort refer to the beach as Atlantis Beach and not Cabbage Beach. This is according to their map which they handed me when I arrived in 2002. If Atlantis have nothing to do with the council beach called Cabbage Beach why do Atlantis have 3 or 4 lifeguard towers on the beach in their corporate colours and have their own employees working on them? In the London coroners inquest the coroner had in writing confirmation from the Port Authority in Nassau that the boat that killed little Paul was not registered, licensed or insured. The Port Authority also confirmed in writing that the so called Boat Skipper Mr James Bain does not have a valid Skippers license. After the boat crashed onto the beach the Atlantis security took control. The boat which should have been kept on dry land for evidence was allowed and put back in the water by Atlantis staff and I was told was later torched to destroy any evidence. How could Mr Nottage and Mr Williamson owners of the boat company push it back, it would be impossible. Last year I visited the Bahamian High Commissioner in London and requested answers to some questions regarding the Manslaughter Trial, the Commissioner promised to send my questions to Nassau for answers such as why was the Judge changed at the last minute to do the case. I have not had any response from any Bahamian official. This I find just so insulting and beyond imagination as how we have been treated all these years on. I wish the Bahamian Government would try and use us to prevent anything like this happening again in some kind of positive manner. I offered my help to the Bahamian Authorities but I have heard nothing. I continue to read about more incidents which makes me so sad. It appears that money is more important than life but hopefully so day, hopefully sooner rather than later someone in authority will say no more enough is enough. I can do no more, I still have not been able to afford to put up a head stone at my sons grave. I lost my business and have been unable to work since. I am now profoundly deaf in both ears and life it very tough.
