Patrick Russell

I just had a chance to watch back last Wednesday’s Rte investigates
Excellent piece of investigative journalism by Paul Murphy but it was a tough watch, I couldn’t decide which was more disgusting, Russell’s scams or the fact that the guards, the dpp and the revenue all failed to do anything about this scumbag, also the high and mighty bar council allowed him to become a barrister despite the fact that he had judgements against him for fraud, it beggars belief, if anyone thinks this country has moved on from the 80s is deluded, this piece of sh1t Russell was allowed to steel 8 million over 30 years, the guards, the dpp, the bar council and the revenue all knew about him yet nobody acted, so it means they are all either completely incompetent or corrupt or both.. this fraudster was obviously being protected by the dpp, this country is rotten to the core, I see little difference in here and Russia, corruption is rife and the legal profession are at the center of most of it, look at shameless woulfe who was given the nod and a wink from Varadkar and McEntee went along with it, nothing but corruption
