    How do people know he actually has a legal bill? Lots of solicitors will do a no win no fee on potentially lucrative cases against the State like this one was. On top of that you also have certain solicitors who are SF sympathisers who wouldnt mind taking a punt on such a case in the hope of taking 30% of the award.

Unless people here are privy to the deal Keogh did with his solicitor you cant say with any certainty at all if he even has a legal bill.

    Hmmm. Very recent threads started by Brendan Bendar in After Hours:
    Nicky Kehoe hit for a big wedge?...Now Nicky seems to be a SF activist...

    Who is paying for Lord Mayors trip?...I find this very strange, what has this to do with the SF LM of Dublin?


    Another Sinn Fein blunder?...

    et cetera et cetera. A cynic might detect a pattern here...

    What sort of a pattern? A pattern of Sinn Fein misbehaviour maybe?

    Surely you don't mean something personal about poor Brendan?

    The solicitors might, but would the barristers?

    Edit: Actually, as they won the case for him, aren't they entitled to their fees?

    Was Nicky Kehoe always a 'good Republican' in the SF view of the world? Thought he was a sticky and an 'IRSP' sort for a time? Might be mixing him up with someone else.

    Never heard of him but upon 30sec google search I see he's a cvnt, so who cares.

    Far from a c*nt. In this case, Google isn't your friend. I wouldn't vote sf if you paid me and I'm no fan of gaa but to slur that man in the manner that yourself/Google deem fit is way off the mark tbh.

    It is possible a barrister would do a no win no fee or even a pro-bono, there is nothing to stop them doing that if they choose. Winning high profile cases brings even more high profile cases so it is good for their careers.

    And there is certainly a few barristers who are sympathetic to SF, in fact Im pretty sure there is a practicing barrister in the Law Library who used to be Chief of Intelligence in the IRA.

    You might be thinking of Nicky Kelly, who was in the IRSP in the late '70s, and was tortured and stitched up by Gardai investigating the Sallins Train Robbery. He later went on to become a Labour councillor in Wicklow.

    A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.
    Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has also taken a heavy toll that negates any true sense of achievement.

    I never saw it spelled that way before.

    There is no pattern , the main point of the thread is to query the huge fees legal eagles seem to command and to try a nd figure out who sets these out.

    We talk about cartels in other industries and service providers ,why not here?

    I used an example which was in the public eye to illustrate my point.

    So nothing sinister here, nothing to see here.
