Politics
Bertie Ahern and Warren G Harding
Bertieâs friends are particularly brazen in claiming âunfair proceduresâ? on the part of the Tribunal. Of what do they think cross-examination consists? Do they think counsel should write down his questions and give advance notice of them in that format? And not deviate from the script?
A Statue in College Green
As we see with Bertie Ahern, if you talk rubbish it has its purpose, and even if the exact purpose cannot be seen, it can be sensed. That means your speech is concealing and not revealing.
The Source of Law?
…and no man knows when they were first put forth.
Refute this again!
There is a modern plot to destroy a good word, the word ârefuteâ?.
Cynics
I notice a tendency in Fianna Fail politicians to attack the electorate by claiming it is cynical.
Arbitration: Whut’s dat?
So, not only do the lawyers become judges but they thereafter scandalize the world (the non-lawyer world anyway; lawyers know more than they can tell).
Extraordinary Rendition and Extraordinary Stupidity
…some âspecially trainedâ? Garda officers have reported to the government that there is no evidence of CIA rendition through Shannon.
DRI v Minister for Communications etc & Ors
THE HIGH COURT 2006 No. 3785P Between DIGITAL RIGHTS IRELAND LIMITED Plaintiff And THE MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS, MARINE AND NATURAL RESOURCES, THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE, EQUALITY AND LAW REFORM, THE COMMISSIONER FOR THE GARDA SIOCHANA, IRELAND AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Defendants UPDATE (14/12/2007) The Motion of the Irish Human Rights Commission for leave to appear as amicus curiae was adjourned to Monday 17th December 2007.
BRIBERY
It is odd that Irish politicians have resorted to the mantra ââ¦no favours asked and no favours givenâ?, in relation to the disclosure of payments, of one kind or another, to them. As an implied statement of law it is mistaken.
RENDITION AT SHANNON, AGAIN
The response of the Garda Siochana was to order the activists to leave the airport and then to arrest them. The activists were waiting at the airport to point out the suspect aircraft. The Gardai refused to search the aircraft.
