There Has Been a Failure Here Wed Jan 22, 2025 13:01 | Dr David McGrogan
What we have seen in Starmer since July is a petty, inhumane, almost spiteful man who considers himself morally superior to the mass of humanity. This, says Dr David McGrogan, was confirmed in spades yesterday.

If your lawyer tells you to plead guilty then you've got the wrong lawyer, I'm not innocent but I'm never guilty.
the solicitor who refused to answer defendant's phonecalls & failed to turn up was Paul Byrne. He also charged defendants 3,500 euro for High Court barristers after they were refused bail by the District Court after Mayday . Only one paid that I know of & he is currently looking at what options he has to get that money returned.
A list of reliable and unreliable solicitors is sorely needed, as people going through the legal system, with political or other charges are being kept in the dark, misrepresented by their solicitor's and barristers and being advised to plead guilty for the convenience of their counsel & the state. It's difficult to get even basic information or even to find out if a case will proceed.
In short defendants are treated with complete contempt as soon as they enter the legal system.
there's been a suggestion to cover court cases & document judgements & particularly the treatment of defendants , by lawyers, prosecutors & judges. having people in the court taking notes really seems to help , as there's some record being kept & notifying journalists for political trials seems useful too, if it's ok by the defendant.
On the up side I have so far seen one district court judge listen to defendants concerns and demand actual evidence from garda witnesses. at least there's one.
I don't think there was a mass in the court room. Yesterday was the start of the new legal year. New barristers (devils) starting and all that. Judges, barristers and solicitors would have attended mass in one of the local churches to 'celebrate' the start of the new legal year.
Barry didn't want to give his solicitors name to me but i guess he knows me too well. you could ask him though. As for the holding of a MASS in the courtroom to start off the new term- i have never heard of such a mad thing to do but it is what happened. mental is what i call it......
There is due to be an item on the RTE tv news at 6pm today. They interviewed the English student who got off and also a supporter who criticises the system that discourages protest by having charges hanging over people for months on end, charges which often get thrown out by the judge because the evidence isn't there. I am told this will be included in the report.
How on earth did they get away with having a religious ceremony in a court room? Is this a common thing? Also, who was the solicitor that failed to turn up? I'd like to know so that I can avoid him/her.
An English student who took part in last year's May Day protest near the Phoenix Park in Dublin was given probation by a court today.
Dan Glass, 21, from New Barnet in Hertfordshire pleaded guilty at the District Court in Dublin to failing to leave the area when directed by gardaí.
The court heard Glass stood in front of a line of gardaí who were protecting the EU accession ceremony and refused to move away despite repeated warnings.
Judge Bridget Reilly dismissed the charge under the Probation Act after the defendant paid €200 to charity.
