    Hi Legal Eagles,
    I'm not au fait with the legalities of it all but I don't understand why the judge looking after the Priory Hall debacle, doesn't jail Tom McFeely for contempt of court.

    Can anyone please explain why he hasn't been, other than the usual Irish problem of total unaccountability for those in positions of influence.

    Was there a Court order made against him?

    Jesus op, dont you know that the upstanding pillars of society like Mc Feely dont do jail in this country!

    It really is a disgrace that he can show such distain for the court and not face any punishment!

    Where are homebond in this case?

    Bankers developers and fianna fail, the bedrock of the country.

    He could be committed for contempt on a notice of motion from the other side of the action supported by an affidavit showing that he breached a court order, or more rarely on the judges own motion. Case is not over yet.
