    Once a witness has given their direct evidence they are tendered for cross examination. It is not unusual, at the end of the day for the case to be adjourned, if the cross examination is going to take a long time, rather than have the cross examination split up. A person is under cross examination from the time they are tendered toi the other side.

    I've spoken to a solicitor and lying to the court is considered serious misconduct, the Barrister on the day was assisted by the solicitor who carried out joint conveyancing on the property sale so how credible is it that the Barrister would not have known what they said to the court was a lie? (unless of course the solicitor deliberately and dishonestly misled the Barrister in which case the Solicitor, as an officer of the court, will be guilty of serious misconduct)

    I am lodging a complaint with the LSRA and the Barrister will be given an opportunity to explain their behaviour,

    I would encourage anyone else that has an issue with the dishonesty of their own or the opposing legal representatives to make a complaint otherwise the Irish legal system will just continue to become more corrupt

    Make a complaint to the Garda that the Barrister & all those involved from the other side has committed perjury as they knowingly swore into evidence false information, this is against the law here is the act, Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Act 2021


    Also make a complaint of misconduct against the barrister with the LSRA as this is considered misconduct.


    Please hold them to account, this should not happen & it seems to me the only way to get justice served in this country is to represent yourself in court.


    The courts system in Ireland needs to be tightened up. Barristers, solicitors & even judges are very loosey goosey when it comes to matters of law & its upto the citizens to get them back in line & follow the law to the letter.


    Laws are written in words & the words are put in a particular order that is entered into memory by way of our statues & laws are there to protect us as well as defend us against injustice.


    Never be afraid to use them to fight injustice.

    barristers don't take an oath when they appear in court. They can't be guilty of perjury for what they say in court. When acting as an advocate they are not supposed to give evidence. The only sanction is professional misconduct and/or contempt of court.
