Strazdas it's about the second thing most people think:D. The line "gettin a wedding invitation is the same thing as gettin a bill" was brilliant too.

Did nobody tell the writers that solicitors are not allowed sit in during questioning in Ireland?

Major feck up there lads!

Couldn't believe this when you said it. Seemed unbelievable but you were right that used to be the case. Did a search. It was changed to allow a solicitor when requested by the detainee in early 2014

Can't believe this used to be the case. Such an obvious no no

It's surprising that this did not get more publicity. "Every day is a school day":D

It's actually still not yet a "thing" that solicitors can sit in on Garda questioning. It's likely to become one soon thanks to that 2014 case!

Notwithstanding that it isn't legislated for yet (has to be by 2016), it is already practice:

From other media:

"In May 2014, the Director of Public Prosecutions issued a direction to the Gardaí that if a suspect in Garda custody requests their solicitor to be present, then this request should be granted. The Department of Justice and Equality informed the Law Society, the ruling body for solicitors, that solicitors may now advise clients in person during Garda interviews."

Citizens information also confirms this:

"You have a right to have your solicitor in the room with you while you are being interviewed."

Can a solicitor represent their brother? Especially if their husband is the superintendent in a station where the investigation is being carried out???

Going by all the US TV shows that have brothers representing sisters, fathers representing sons, etc. etc. I'd say it's quite likely that they can, but I'm probably wrong...

It was a goodbye video to the creator and showrunner of Red Rock who is leaving. He started this time last year on it so guess he just wanted to set it up then do other things. Thought people might be vaguely interested :P

Btw, I hadn't realised quite how easy on the eye that Niamh one is

So, Bruce Stale Carp, did the writers feck up or did you?

That was a great episode!

McGonigle: "Don't you ever call me a thief again!'
Sharon: " Why, what would you prefer? Paedophile?"

Posy · 01-04-2015 11:19pm

Fair play to Sharon- she's got some nerve!

Sharon's got great courage - or something!! She would really need to get someone
on her side. She is isolated at the moment as McGonagle continues to bully her.
Shades of a real life bully about whom we have heard too much in the media recently!!

I'm still loving that we're getting to know the characters bit by bit. McKay, Vincent Kiely and Angela & Tommy have all grown on me a bit more this week - up until now they had just kind of been there, but now I feel like I know them a little bit more. It was great to see McKay advising Michael about Mount Joy and also seeing him off duty. Vincent's scenes with Katie were brilliant and I love the dynamic between Tommy & Angela - hopefully we'll find out more about how their marriage began falling apart.

And also good to see Nikki joining Paudge and Seán as a comedy relief type character.

desbrook · 03-04-2015 12:25am

Personally I dislike McKay the more we get to see him. He's really a Hennessey - he just controls it more.

"If you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas "

cofy · 03-04-2015 12:56am

I get the feeling that Angela is putting so much into getting her marriage back on track that she is ignoring symptoms of illness (hope I am wrong here).

Tonight started so devastating with Angela having to relay bad news to a father, you could really see it in his face that he knew any hope was now gone. Then laughed at the prank played on Sean with the stool and mic, great that someone other than Podge delivering comedy.

It was good to see a more human side to Claire tonight.

There's actually quite a bit of depth to Vincent. He's obviously rough around the edges but you can see that he is a thinker and even seems to have a sensitive side.

desbrook · 03-04-2015 10:40am

Anyone think it was a bit rich of Claire to slag the pub's decor when her mother's place seems a far worse kip?

He comes out with some good one liners as well like telling jesus " there is no room in this inn "

SarahBM · 04-04-2015 9:22pm

Just got caught up on Red Rock from the last two wks. It's getting better and better! Sharon has balls of steel!

Just starting watching recently. Great show, a million miles ahead of FC.

Spotted another link to Glenroe in the cast also.

Is there two former Glenroe cast members?

Radio5 · 07-04-2015 9:47am

Cathy Belton who plays Mrs.Hennessy, was in Glenroe. Her character was married to Mario (Gift Grub) Rosenstock's character, can't remember their names.

Liam Carney was Kevin in Glenroe, married to Michelle who worked in the pub. His Red Rock character is married to a Garda, Angela, I think her name is, her friend's body was found in last week's episodes.

Correct you there Cathy Belton wasn't married to Mario Rosenstock, that was Fidelma who had a roll in the hay with Miley.
Cathy Belton was a vet in it and married to the chap who danced around the pint in the Guiness ad about 20 years ago.

I knew about Cathy alright, had forgotten about the the other guy.
