    Whats a blockhead?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    They're like blackheads, but instead of being annoyed that you've got bad skin, you see them as Reasons to be Cheerful.

    Back to OP's dilemma (spelling aside).

    Jury service tomorrow. We do not know when the holiday is booked for, maybe OP will come back on that one.

    OP may not be called tomorrow or the next day or the next. Depends on the peremtory challenge to jurors that is open to the Defence. Anyway.

    Say you are called for service tomorrow. The trial may only last a few days, may last a few weeks.

    When are the holliers booked for?

    Turn up. If you are called for a jury, explain the holiday to the judge and then you will be excused.

    From what I've heard off people only a handful of the people called get picked.
    Dress badly and say a few inappropriate things might get your off as well.

    The end of May, last week of the month. I sent them copies of all holiday related bookings with my reply to them and they just resent the letter that states I must be there tomorrow.

    That's a full month away.

    The vast majority of trials don't take anything like a month, more like a few days.

    I presume that if you wound up being picked for a trial that might go on that long (which in the overall scheme of things is a very small chance) then you could raise the issue of your booked holiday at that point.

    (I'm guessing at the last bit above, never having been involved in the jury process, so happy to be corrected on that)

    Turn up. You must.

    So you have the guts of five weeks (if you are called). I'd say you'd be fine.

    Look up the Courts website to see what cases are due to be heard tomorrow. That might give you an idea of which cases are on tomorrow and the possible length of them.

    But turn up you must. IMV.

    I would have a chat with the Court Clerk if called. S/he might have the inside track as to how long the case will last. It would be very unusual for a case to last longer than a month.

    No is the simple answer there. Unless you can find something yourself around there. Maybe in the Phoenix Park. But not great IMV. And I wouldn't bank on it either. Spaces taken up by commuters.

    Can you get there by bus, Luas or Train (to Heuston)? only a few minutes walk.

    The key thing is if you do get picked is to make sure you get sequestered in a hotel for the weekend and then steal everything in the hotel room.

    Sounds to me like the OP does actually wanna get on this jury so he's gonna piss the judge off enough that the judge says feck!, this asshole is wreckin me head about this made up holiday to get off jury duty that he puts him on the jury. I think the defendant done something in the past to piss off the OP and really wants revenge on the defendant.

    Ooh sounds like a movie could be made out of it;)

    If you really want to get out of it you could always try the Sarah Silverman approach ...... which I won't repeat here due to the possibility that I might get in trouble! :-)

    Hi,
    I'm in for Dury duty tomorrow in Criminal Courts.

    My main concern is that I had a week holiday abroad booked before I was summoned and I can't afford to cancel it as I will lose all the money spent on it.

    What are my options, I hope there are any....

    Cheers for any advice

    You should ask the Dudge.


    too late
