The powers that be are making a very public attempt to convince the public that this legislation is working, workable and enforceable when it clearly isnt. Their hope is that it will get past this bank holiday weekend before falling asunder. Tell me more about this judicial system.

lawrencesummers wrote: » Me neither, no legal background, but it’s strange that the Gardai are directed not to make arrests for this just to inform the DPP. That kicks the can down the road far enough, it’s possible that an arrest under incorrect legislation could lead to ramifications against the state. Maybe someone can answer how this legislation has been brought into effect without a Seanad having approved it. And just to be clear, it’s the technicality of the legislation that I’m dubious of, not the purpose of it, i fully understand and accept the purpose of it.

Someone found with 5 million euro worth of drugs is arrested long before the dpp become involved. Gardai consult with the dpp before CHARGING someone for an offence. So off that high horse. Way to move the goalposts in an attempt to retain credibility. The regulations working is not the argument you made, you said about Gardai arresting people. So, we are a common law legal system. Adopted primarily from the British legal system. We still use common law offences but also statutory instruments. A prime example would be murder and assault. Murder remains a common law crime, assault is under the offences against the person act 1997. Just examples. Gardai have powers of arrest. Primarily 3 types. Gardai can arrest using an arrest warrant, without warrant where a set act grants a power of arrest for a certain offence or for any offence which carries a possible sentence in excess of 5 years. They are called 'arrestable offenses'. There are two methods of prosecution. Summery or indictable. Some offences are summery only which usually but not always, carry no power of arrest. Simple possession of drugs for example. Then there's indictable which carries a power of arrest and finally, hybrid offences which can go both ways. Last up you have the dpp. The dpp decide who will be charged and prosecuted but that's only after a person is arrested and usually, an investigation file sent to them. There are however exceptions known as 'blanket approval'. In those cases Gardai can arrest, charge and prosecute cases themselves without the dpp or chief state solicitor. In this particular case, dpp consent is required as can be confirmed direct from the commissioner himself when stated "As per Garda policy in relation to the regulations, in all cases where arrests were made under the regulations, members of An Garda Síochána consulted with the Director of Public Prosecutions on the decision to charge." (https://www.thesun.ie/news/5370653/coronavirus-ireland-gardai-used-covid-19-emergency-legislation-76-times/) You are wrong. Be a grown up and accept it.

I continuously highlight that she is an authoritarian hatemongering bully peddling extreme far right hate against Migrants, Refugees, LGBT people, Muslims, Politicians, Journalists, Gardai, Disability campaigners as well bat**** conspiracy theories about chemtrails and 5g and vaccines and covid/christchurch being fake. She claims to support free speech while bullying and threatening and censoring anyone who ever counters her speech and regularly threatens journalists/Gardai/Politicians they will be sacked stripped of pensions and uniform. I never mock her. I highlight that she is an extreme hate mongering fascist bully.
