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.

Hopefully she looks more wrecked after her sentence is completed.

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??

We don't have unlimited fines.

Lots of the people who have screwed up our country financially could pay any realistic fine out of petty cash.

And besides most of that lot would have plenty of cash squirrelled away, and have lawyers ready to complain about the unfairness of why they have to pay a higher fine than someone on the dole.

Securing her kids future by robbing/ conning an elderly friend, she is a lovely mother for sure.
You think she has felt sorry for anyone she sent to prison? Don't let the old lady in crutches fool you.

She looks wrecked now wait until you see her in two years time, she will look even worse.

The state pension system really needs to change.

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

She wasn't convicted of using her position to enrich herself; what she did, she did in the course of her solicitor's practice, before she became a judge.

Of course, being a solicitor carries a public responsiblity, but the state doesn't pay you a pension for it.

I love this bit from RTE

Earlier, Defence Counsel Patrick Gageby had asked the court to be as lenient as possible with Perrin. He said consideration had to be given to medical reports and her very substantial, significant and public fall from grace.

I am surprised her lawyer didn't try the old "and she a promising member of her local GAA club" as well.

what about the poor 80 year old man that looks wrecked having to give evidence? no mention of him in your comment. you swear she was trying to feed starving children the way you put it, it was greed plain and simple, you need to get a grip...

Its kinda funny how the solicitors for her got away with trying to make out that this was out of character when the truth is this was exactly IN character for this Geebag.
..
In her gaff in Lambay court she applied for planning permission to get dormer windows built on her roof with a sea view which was refused by the planners, She built them anyways and then applied for retainer permission, This was refused and she was give a demolition order which, to this day, she has blatently ignored.

Not really the same thing. Most people in that area have been refused planning permission for dormer windows purely because Grogan doesn't like them. Many others have built them anyway, and are trying to fight the refusal, as it is simply based on one persons taste..

Robbing a trusted family friend of half their estate, because she wanted to make sure her kids (and not the family friends family) were looked after, is a violation of many things, but shows she can't be trusted. If she hadn't been given the position of a Judge, Her practice might never have been handed to the next firm, and she may have got away with it.
Makes me wonder have any others succesfully done something similar..
