Irish justice

The country has been brought to its knees by widespread greed , and unethical practises by a privileged few in the banking sector and a few crooked politicians - unemployment is rife and decent business's throughout Ireland are in dire straits or gone - towns throughout Ireland are turning into Ghost towns with little hope- the IMF are here and our sovereignty nearly gone -and many have taken or considered, paying the ultimate price ,and yet nothing happens - no-one is charged with anything...

why do we have to rely on the U.S. judiciary to get some answers (that don't require 14 year tribunals) ?

Subtle yet irritating errors are the order of the day. That's my thought on the title post as well as its subject.

The criminal justice system is a farce, white collar crime is usually let go of when it is caught as the perpetrator comes from a 'good background' and never got in trouble before. It's sick and has to change. The likes of Drumm stole from everyone in Ireland in one go. Billions, not a few groceries in tesco, and he gets to move to the US. So wrong, but no one in power is willing to make an example of these crooks...

This thread needs its own tribunal I think.

I know the economy, or whats left, has been debated to death here - but why does it take a U.S. court to get us some quick meaningful answers ? - why do we in Ireland sit back , and wait 14 years for answers ? , by then we have forgotten what the problem actually was , and we can then be easily hoodwinked by the kind of waffle Mr .Lowry was trying to lecture us on, in the Dail the other day

House of cards, they are afraid to lose power the corrupt lot! It's crazy, old boys club, they all have the dirt on the other. It is too big a problem for this discussion board. The responsibility lands with the Minister for Justice and the DPP, if they did their jobs there should be prosecutions and hefty jail time for those responsible from Bertie down, aiding abetting whether negligently or otherwise. House of cards though.

You could say white collar crime does not get dealt with, which is true but all types of crime is ignored. If Reginald Mountbatten commits fraud and Wacker McGee stabs somebody they will both get away with it. We have the most liberal justice system on the planet. I cant think of a country that could remotely be close to us in terms of being so liberal on crime.
