Solicitor quits over 'corruption in judiciary'

Seems like the type of thing that if you allege, you must be prepared to back up and pursue. If he is correct then he'd better do so.

Probably scandalising the court, but I think that's just a species of contempt. I agree that if you make big statments like that then you need to back them up. Just quitting proves nothing. If he does have evidence of corruption then I'd say he has a moral duty to put it into the public domain.

Got any proof to back up your sensationalist nonsense?

Sensationalist nonsense???
Have we forgotten about a Big Ignorant Fat F#~ker from Offaly??? And his rounds of golf with the man who has Anglo Irish bank fisting everyone in this nation in the @55??? Or what about that incompetent predecessor Taoiseach before the BIFFO, bertie 'the b0110x' ahern with his " i never knew i needed to open a bank account" or what about his " Sitting on the sidelines, cribbing and moaning is a lost opportunity. I don't know how people who engage in that don't commit suicide because frankly the only thing that motivates me is being able to actively change something" The only f#~kin thing that b0110x changed was the bank balance in his wife's name. {SNIP - DEFAMATORY MATERIAL} Or the the mahon tribunal regarding a majority of police involved in corruption in donegal, pointing the finger at anyone just to bury a case. Read the papers, wake the f~#k up and pull your head out of the sand! " sesationalist nonsense"

What about the pr1cks bating people down at the shell to sea site? There is plenty of footage online of excessive force being used on what initially was a peaceful protest. Or back to good auld garda sargent[a sargent] finbarr hickey & his cannabis factory 77 plants at various stages of growth from vegging to flowering to plants drying in a shed out his back garden. Personal use?? My @r5e!! And anyone especially the judge to believe that is living with their head up in the clouds.

Any normal person would have been banged up pending trial waiting for the manditory sentence, but no not for a corrupt "sargent"copper such as finbarr. He got 3 years suspended sentence for over "€30,000" worth of weed.{SNIP - DEFAMATORY MATERIAL}

If your so depraved & wont splash out and buy a paper to see whats going on around you, its all there. If you read the papers you wouldn't be looking for "proof", you've obviously got internet access have a look there. Its all out there. You need to wake up your being starved of the real world, living in a pipe dream - :pac::pac:sensationalist nonsense:pac::pac: snap out of it:D remove your head from whichever slurry pit its been seasoning in the majority of your life.

More sensationalist nonsense. What you need is the same as that solicitor needs i.e. PROOF.
Cowan met that banker but there is no proof that anything unlawful happened between them although i am not too convinced on that one myself. But i cannot prove it and neither can you.
The Sheel to Sea protesters gave as good as they got. They blocked the roads and tried to prevent people from going to their lawful work. The Gardai are given batons for that very purpose and were ordered to use them in certain cases.
Ex- Sergeant Hickey was caught growing cannabis plants and who caught him? Members of the very force he served in and thank God they did. Where is the corruption there?
He was growing cannabis which is illegal, I believe there was some lad caught driving while under the influence of it recently. very dangerous and against the law so we wouldn't want anything corrupting our drivers now, would we?

Where is the corruption for Hickey??? Wake up man, the 'mandatory' sentence for that is a minimum of 10 years, & that pr1ck got 3 years SUSPENDED??
What do you mean where is the corruption? He got away with it & the passports too. He was a rotten cop to the core & is still strolling around out of prison. Where is the corruption?? Its ok for him to do it and not the average civilian?? B0110X!:mad:!

& regarding me 'under the influence' as I said before I wasn't. It was smoked over 8 hours prior to driving through the amber light smarty pants
If you knew anything about smoking yourself you'd know! Its funny how people can pass judgement on things they claim to know about. It another prime example of our farcical 'system'. You can have a pint and are fit to drive with trace amounts hours later, but not a spilff?? you clearly know nothing about it & god knows how many junkies drive home from their methadone clinics, but you hear f~#k all about them being prosecuted.[/QUOTE]

I read somewhere recently that Hickey was in jail. Is this wrong?
If nobody bought the cannabis then nobody would grow it.
I agree that the law should be the same for everyone and that the corrupt bankers etc got away with it. All their assets should have been seized imo.

Its a big statement to make and one would hope he has something to back it up.

I doubt he has.

Maybe your doubt is right, maybe not time will tell. & the system is a farce. It is rotten to the core, politicians, bankers, developers. The vast majority of the 'governing' body/ies is/are rotten corrupt and disfunctional.

Certainly Dub777 there is corruption. But I don't reckon it exists in the judiciary and there has been no evidence I'm aware of to suggest otherwise. Are you saying that some of our judges are corrupt ? Or do you just mean 'the system' in general ?

found dead in a car with a Ukrainian prostitute who was 17[t.

The ukrainian woman in the car at the time of the accident sued for libel and was not a protitute nor 17 and in fact was 29 years old and with a university degree for translation and was certainly an interpreter.Why not have some respect for the truth.

Ireland is corrupt because it doen't understand or is blind or naive to why it is corrupt. It is almost just a stupid country. Please allow me to explain my comment:

In a recent study The Transparency international for Ireland organisation did find that ireland while not suffering from petty bribes and so forth is legally corrupt. It suffers from legal corruption. Now while this might be found at different levels of business and affairs, i just want to focus on the reactionary force that this legal corruption has on irelands judicial system in the following paragraphs.

One important weakness in the irish judstice system is that there is no rehabilitation act in ireland. Irelands judicary breeds criminals like rabbits with out ever rehabilitating them. It also incarcerates innocent people. However Ireland unlike most other countries has several flaws that create a vicious circle.

1. No rehabilitation system means that there is a lawless class in ireland.

2. People may or may not be aware that the institution that is mountjoy prison is run on ancient british laws dating back before 19th and 18th century when church and state readily executed people.

3. This prison and it's people are actually outside traditonal law and operate under a seperate law- prison law. This is an alien world where our citzens never return from and where executions are a part of life.

4. The innnocent project has arrived in ireland, it has had a huge success in USA Uk and many other countries but ireland with be it's first real Nemisis because ireland is stupid. It's not so much corruption but a lack of accountability for it's corruption. The innocent project exploded to succces by using DNA to free innocent prisoners. It depended on Authortities to have kept samples from cold case's murder and rape and other serious offences from decades earlier. So far they have managed to free hundreds of prisoners using this practice and have received dozens of irish cases already.

The innocence project will stop dead in it's tracks in ireland because you can be certain that the Forenisc and technical bureau have disposed of all the samples. They reguarly just throw away crtical evidence because they have no regard for the innocent or rehabilitaion of our citizens. They know they are corrupt and despit them being the moral leaders of country and well aware of rough justice program and Barry sheck and innocence projects as far back as almost 30 years ago they will nonethless operate contrary to the last shimmering hope every other western country has at the very least afforded it's citizens the right to test evidence.

Ireland remains alone in this regard. With an alienated prison population and prison laws exploiting laws from 17th and 18th century to incarcerate and undermine our constitution and hence right to life and equally decadent judicary, you realise that ireland still operates it's gallows and hangmen while our moral leaders furtively dispose of test Samples needed to free the innocent and bring our country back to sanity.

Taxpayers just spent what might eventually cost 200 million on the Moiority Tribunial. If you go to molesworth street (goverment publications) and look at the goverment expenditure on the justice department you will discover that ireland has spent a mere 2 million an annum increasing miserably and incremently on criminal examination and Forensic scientiific labatory in the detection of serious crime. Yet they have spent what might amount to 70 years of that budget on a the worthless Morioity tribunial the result of which was 100 page binder about estat digi phone.

Our garda admit they are not equipped to provide security for Obama or the Queen let alone police an entire country. We now have to explain to our citizens that few corrupt officals and gardai have almost destroyed any chance of resolving miscarriges of justice in this country. What i wonder is when this all eventually blows up how are you going to stop the reactionary forces when you have no budget thanks to Morority tribunial and other vast wastes of tax payers money to provide security.

True corruption is not just pettty bribes and brown envelopes it is also a Judicial system that operates without regard for justice which ireland will no longer have if we can't resolve miscarriages of justice. People create poverty not god or nature. We are poor because of certain people. These people continue to impoverish us. People are not even amused or entertained by the character of our courts anymore.

There are gardai in this country that could transform our judicial system and lives of our citizens with one phonecall to the director of the innocence project and one signed affidavit bringing years of corruption to light. The code of silence seems to be above God and Country an omerta that they bring to the grave.

These gardai need to respect our courts and be honest and more truthful and reveal those dark secrets because it is their secrecy and darkness and perjury that breeds life into what can only be described as irelands fifth dimension with old laws outside the constitution.
