I am sick of them and the only one certainty is that all of the participants, guards, politicians, judges, barristers,etc will all have big salaries and will have fat pensions to look forward to regardless of the outcome.

Yet the tail end of the OP seems to be wedging in a fairly thinly veiled dole sponging reference/ need for people to pay their fair share? What the actual fcuk?

Lots of time, effort and money to tell someone they have (or haven't) been a naughty boy and send them on their way? Is this a purely Irish thing?
