    Heard this on the radio this morning 'Greedy bitch' was my first thought. Amazing , you think she sat up there handing out sentences to people for years on end for thing's as trivial in the grand scheme of thing's as robbing a bottle of coke from a supermarket or not paying your TV licence and there she is trying to con some aul fella out of half of his estate to give to her grubby handed children.

    (Note the children may have very clean hands)

    Isn't it funny that white collar crime is always dealt with less harshly, really blows my mind.

    Her name is MUD. I think that will Kill her even more so then the prison term.
    She would have been very highly respected member of the community, serves her right. Greedy old Goat

    The sentence seems like nothing but it's her career and reputation that have been ruined forever. Good.

    She looks like the John Lithgow from third rock from the sun with a wig on.

    Anyone who thinks she will be ostracised from her social circle when she gets released must not know how that circle works.

    Wonder will she meet anyone she put away, on the inside. She'll get a hard time. Like that corrupt Judge in Porridge - he was put in the same cell as Fletcher, the man he sentenced.
    She was only a district court judge, but they make enemies too...

    Not sure I get what you're saying. This particular white collar crime resulted in a custodial sentence, whereas we've several recent instances of sexual and physical assaults in which the sentence was suspended.

    Perhaps this type of thing?
    There has been a substantial drop in the number of people convicted of white collar crime in the seven years up to 2010, in spite of an increase in the number of offences. The figures were released by Minister for Justice Alan Shatter following a parliamentary question by Labour TD Robert Dowds.

    They also show that there are no solicitors or barristers, and only two full-time accountants employed by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation. Garda sources said the force cannot hire professionals because of the Government-imposed public service recruitment embargo.

    The figures show that the number of people convicted of white collar crime dropped from 579 - just under a quarter of the offences in 2003 - to 178 in 2010, with less than 15% of the offences committed in 2010.
    However, there was also an increase in the number of white collar crime offences over the same period.

    Actually (execpting Garlic man) non violent crime does not usually attract a long sentence. Two and a half years is quite stiff for a conviction for deception.
    Dont get me wrong, I am delighted the greed cnut got a custodial sentence, but I dont think she got off lightly.

    Thank Christ. I was expecting to wake up today and hear that she'd been given a suspended sentence or let off for political reasons, as usually happens.

    Is this the start of a new era of justice?

    The state pension system really needs to change.

    Anyone convicted of using their position to enrich themselves should lose their pension entitlements.

    The thought struck me that maybe prison isn't the right place for her? To me prison is for locking away people who are a danger to society, and there are plenty of them and not enough room for them in already crowded prisons.. Maybe a fine of a few million would have hurt her alot more??

    In local parlance, I do believe the descriptive term that applies is "weapon".
    Example of usage: that crooked judge has the look of a serious weapon about her.

    I'm surprised somebody so versed in law could think that they'd get away with this.

    However justice was done, I don't think gloating or sneering at the woman is called for. Her name is mud and her life's work is undone, that's punishment enough.

    Been considering that myself.

    I guess the custodial sentence is as much a deterrent to others as a punishment to the convicted.

    It's an interesting question though.

    I actually feel so sorry for her. Like someone said she should have being fined and the money donated to charity. Doesn't it show she was a decent mother at least securing her kids future? Giver her that at least. Not something I would have done still, but just seeing her struggling coming and going to court on the cruthes made my heart sink and the poor lady looks wrecked.

    She probably would have gotten away with it had she not been promoted to the judiciary. It was only discovered because her client was passed onto another lawyer.

    Despicable behaviour.

    Makes you wonder how much it goes on.

    Why not both?

    Someone in a position of trust (such as a garda, lawyer or judge) who commits crime should be punished much more severely than a regular civilian because their criminality undermines the whole system.

    As the man had no kids, there'd be less contention in probate

    Am glad justice is being served. Can you imagine someone like that having to interact with one of the scissors sisters for example. It really must be a nightmare. maybe she would be used to dealing with scumbags, having served as a judge. What greed. Wasn't she just so stupid.
