Once again goes to show the legal system is a mess.

Yet they will clamp down hard on TV licence dodgers, but hey, dump thousands of tons of waste illegally......

Pique

And don't forget to pay the right VAT on garlic!!

This is a thundering disgrace to let this POS walk out of court after he basically gave it 2 fingers.

What does this fella need to do in order to get jail time?

Curl out a steamer in the middle of the courtroom?

According to the Irish Sun newspaper our Jim was one of the two people arrested during the week and subsequently released.

The bit of the story about the €155,000 seized by CAB from his associate is a little vague. Is this old news I wonder or is this a reference to the other person arrested with him?

muffler

He's been in court again and once more the judge (in his wisdom) has decided not to jail him (yet) for either contempt of court or on foot of the action brought by Donegal County Council. The mind boggles at the justice system in this country.

Jim Ferry in court be like...

muffler

The bauld Jim has agreed (by court order) to have his finances examined forensically

donegal_man

The saga of Jim trundles on. He's gotten permission for his own forensic accountant to examine his accounts. This could run longer than The Mousetrap.

hopefully no one votes for him but there s no such thing as bad publicity. id want to know why he thinks someone else should pay for his mess

Pique

So he owes the state a fortune, and now looks to be paid by the state?

Garnish his salary by ohh, I dunno, 100%?

He'd make a rubbish politician :pac:

Apologies for the limited amount of info in the following link but you have to be a paid subscriber to read the full article. According to the Irish Times he took a high court challenge against the Council's refusal to allow him to stand in the upcoming local elections and lost

I like the papers heading ... "Jim Ferry dumped out of Donegal county council elections"

Proper order! If they’d now take the same action against a few of the other gangsters running for election...

There's only one man who could take out the bad guys

Maybe that was Ferry's plan. Get rid of the trash and dump them in someone else's constituency.

I'm up here in North Donegal, and there's posters everywhere for John Seamais O Fearraigh, Sinn Féin.


Any relation, I wonder?

Not that i'm aware of but they're certainly not political bedfellows anyway which id imagine is more important, Sinn Fein has 4 Doherty's running in Donegal and a Doherty that's a TD and guess what none of them are related, Id be more concerned that there's posters for John Seamais in north Donegal when hes running in Glenties EA

and he had the audacity to ask for money that was previously seized to be returned to him so that he could employ a forensic accountant :eek:

Only for contempt.

Was he ever criminally charged with the illegal dumping? I can't remember but he should be doing time for that IMO.

I see that WERS Waste, the company who took over ferry's 2 companies, has now in turn been taken over.

Probably not guaranteed but in most situations like that the current employees would be retained.

CastorTroy

Next thing you know, it'll turn out to be a shell company owned by Ferry.

Highly unlikely that a small private operator from Donegal bought out the largest waste company in Ireland.

As posted previously they have been bought out by Ireland's LARGEST refuse firm
