Samantha cookes remanded again.
Nathan McD gets legal aid after all.
Kerry garden centre owner charged with record crystal meth seizure granted legal aid (irishexaminer.com)
clearly our court systems is as corrupt as him. Absolutely scandalous. Importing 33k million work of drugs and gets legal aid 😡
He probably didn't get any payment from the cartel as the delivery to Australia from Ireland failed.
I expect the cartel will settle with him and his family sometime down the road.
People are entitled to apply for legal aid whatever the charges are against them. It's worse for the taxpayer when someone who arrives in the country to commit a crime is eligible for legal aid even if they've got no past connection with the country and have contributed zilch to the system.
I know this refers to Australia but it makes the Ballyseedy haul look like peanuts in comparison. The drug must be in short supply over there now. 😛
Almost $1 billion worth of meth seized in Sydney following anonymous tip-off from the United States | Sky News Australia
THe days of having any decent names in entertainment for the festival are long gone by the looks of it! Such a shame
He got legal aid, as the family scrambled to get his name off all their companies so legally he has nothing even his family home, CAB are currently going threw the family in every detail and anyone associated to him business wise!
It doesn't make a dent as the profits from it are astronomical if it gets into Aus for ever one caught ten get threw, while still huge it doesn't sell on the streets of Aus for that.
The sinola cartel will do nothing, as that seizure is the cost of doing business and is nothing in the grand scheme of that cartel, this isn't Mexico.
people WHO NEEDED legal aid yes. this man was CEO of how many companies. Has a mansion. A few nice cars. And gets legal aid. regular Joe soap would be rejected legal aid with a regular job, don’t see why this drug dealer should get it.
CEO on paper, which went threw to holding companies for the family, obviously he was highly in debt, is the mortgage of the family home paid off? Are the cars leased or company vehicle? Probably yes!
Lots of people are CEOs of small private companies and a lot of those companies aren't worth a lot. They're not multi-nationals with millions on their balance sheets.
He obviously had few, or even zero, assets in his name, or he wouldn't have been granted legal aid. If the residence were in his name it's quite possible that it's mortgaged to the hilt and in negative equity, who knows.
As for the cars, it's pretty much guaranteed that they're in the name of one of the companies. In all the years that I've been dealing with company accounts I've never come across one director who had a car in their name. Sometimes their spouse owned a car, but usually the spouse was always a director and also had a company car.
A limited company is a distinct legal entity as if it's a different "person", so anything owned by a company can't be owned by the directors.
As for him living in a 'mansion', it certainly isn't a mansion! 😂
In fairness, not bad for a free festival.
In fairness, not bad for a free festival. Imagine if we all gave a few bob to them....🤔 The possibilities. The brochure has a lot of businesses missing off it, that definitely gain from it.
I was just looking at the parade volunteers page. Have they no public liability insurance. A kid gets injured or dies as a result of something happening and they wave their right to claim against the organisers.
It wouldn't encourage me to let my kids take part.
That waiver wouldn't be worth effort of typing it out of it came to claim for an injury.
It smells like one of those contracts that would be voided by the courts if anyone lodged a claim.
I wouldn't be selling life insurance to Nathan McD. Cartel's don't like losing money.
This wasn't "the cartel" this was a sub cell, the cell are probably down 200k to 500k and majority of that is the inoperable machine and transport, as I said this isnt Mexico they aren't going to send or pay anyone to kill him, would you say "the cartel" will come after Mr Leen too?
I would have thought Mr Leen would be the one they are more interested in!? He has more info then NMcD
The Kerry Mexican is the leader of this "sub cell" supplied by the cartel who got paid already. Mr Leen had a good "working relationship" with his boss( judging by his international travels) , Mr Leen doesn't look like a guy they'll go after either as he'll keep his mouth shut and do his time even though the Spanish have all their messages!
As I said it's the cost of doing business, some losses are expected and built in.
Now if Mr McDonnell gives the guards everything that they don't already know that will be a different story from the Irish side of this operation but I bet he only knew what they wanted him to know and nothing more.
No1 from the cartel is coming after either of the two people.
I disagree. Failure is the second biggest crime you can commit in that world behind being a 'rat'
The Kerry Mexican has probably got bigger fish to fry at the moment but if he is to survive and in the long term lead, he'll have to get his own house in order.
I wouldn't sell life insurance to either of them.
Leahys in Oakpark is coming under new management and changing it's name to life pharmacy.
There will also be a new app.
I think they must have just signed up with Life Pharmacy as a member, using the name Leahy's Life Pharmacy.
Life Pharmacy | Explore Health Services - Free Click & Collect
I was chatting to the new owner. Himself and another pharmacist have taken over.
Well, I did my best guessing with the information available. 😛
A valiant effort 🤣
So who does own Ballyseedy?
