    Awful old looking face for the given age.
    Can't be work that is aging him.

    Seems his experiences with authority, including today, have all been soft.

    well you should make sure you are better prepared :)

    I'm flying to the US tomorrow. When you're in the preclearance in Dublin the amount of people bitching about it is ridiculous. they're mainly americans though. Most Irish people are aware of the process.

    Judges are often deluded individuals working against the best interests of society.

    I'd agree with most of what you posted except the deluded bit. I don't think they are deluded at all. I think the justice industry has manoeuvred itself onto a nice little earner where it pays them to keep repeat offenders on the street. If you or I commit a crime we'll almost certainly face jail because the justice industry will take one look at us and realise they are unlikely to make any more money from us so we're jail statistic bait. But lads like this are the gift that keeps on giving to the justice industry. Every conviction is thousands in legal fees on both sides all paid for by the taxpayer.

    He/she wasn't always a judge. They have come up through the justice industry and now it's their turn to keep the wheel turning for those coming up behind them. Plus if they jailed criminals and didn't allow them become repeat offenders there would be less need for trials and therefore less need for judges.

    The legal industry looks after it's own like no other industry.

    Try getting a solicitor to sue a solicitor some time.

    Dressed head to toe in Adidas & Northface clothes, I wouldn't want to see his rights as a social welfare recipient infringed by wearing anything from Pennys or the likes.

    Apparently it has a rep for being soft.

    I'd say a lot of illicit substances are moved through Dublin airport every year undetected.

    Or maybe more people with disabilities travel now that are airports and airlines are making the required accommodations?
    and what do these people with disabilities do outside airports where there are no free wheelchairs with people to push them around? oh yeah, that's right, they use their own wheelchairs. Trust me, this is a scam and a half. A handful of companies are making an absolute killing on this feel-good irreproachable unquestionabe scheme. In any case my post, as I think you knew quite well, was aimed at the fully able bodied people who get to airports unaided and then sit into wheelchairs paid for by their fellow travellers and get wheeled to the gate in the priority lane.

    It’s good that his idiocy has gone international so foreign people can laugh at him too.

    Actually two cases I can tell you about this year . My SIL injured her leg falling into a hole in a public park . She was booked to fly to a wedding . Her foot was in a boot and no way could she have walked the long corridor to her gate .
    A friend of mine can walk short distances on her arthritic knee but would struggle in the airport . Neither of them own or need a wheelchair but to be sure of getting to the far distant gates they booked a wheelchair . Neither needed or wanted to be first on or priority anything
    Not all are doing it for the craic

    It might have been to the Irish taxpayers advantage if he’d made the flight. I’ve a feeling he’d have done everything possible to get himself in trouble in Amsterdam, and I’d rather their taxpayers had to foot the bill for a few months of incarceration than you and I having to pay some sleazy lawyer here to tell a sob story about his hard upbringing and sick mother so he can walk out of court laughing again.

    You have to love an article with a sub-head of 'Exposed backside' :pac:

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    The premature aging could be caused by prolonged use of sh1te drugs cut with cement/rat poison

    M'lord my client was anxious to get to Amsterdam as he had a job interview lined up.

    Unemployed but going on holiday. I can only assume he saved a decent wedge before he lost his job to afford junkets across Europe.

    Legal aid is based on income. He's still entitled to a holiday, no matter how much of a scumbag waste of space this dog really is. Free legal aid isn't exactly what you want representing you in court.

    For normal people with normal lives on social welfare, a holiday can be very helpful and potentially cost the state even less on medical bills, the idea is to reduce mental health issues.

    Impossible.

    Try calling a solicitor out on something - he/she will get all their legal pals to gang up against you and sue you

    That's irrelevant, it doesn't matter if people agree with it or not.
