Do you have the figures? Does anyone have the figures?

Well the figures regarding sanctions applied to legal professionals are publicly available.

As Catmaniac has said, they're published on the Law Society's website. They're also published in the Law Society's monthly magazine, which I seem to recall are issued to all public libraries.

I will bet anybody the princely sum of fifty euro that the Law Society, on average, publishes strike-off or sanctions of more of its members per month than any of the specialist medical colleges or, for that matter, plumbers or carpenters.

As a profession, they are surprisingly litigious toward their own members.

Does anyone else think she sounded half cut during the radio show?

Probably why "rate my solicitor " website was closed down

It's clearly an internal matter for FG, so no reason it should be made public.

Never heard of it. Even the name sounds like a magnet for cranks whose claims were never really going to progress.

Real Gemma O Doherty fanbase, I bet. Full of hyperbole and self-victimisation.

Great national interest in this issue. It relates to the increasing cost of insurance, FG unlikely to succeed in brushing it under the carpet

You conjured up all that based on the name of the website?

I’m going to listen again carefully and see. Now my mind will be biased having read this comment, but let’s see..

It starts out by her sounding a bit slurred “jzz to be clear” “hugely dsstressng intrusive...” “through leakth dzocumenrs...”

Yes it does sound distinctly slurred. Either she had a double vodka for Dutch courage coming on, or the effects of last night’s into-the-small-hours session are still upon her. Or she is a diabetic who was then going into a hypoglycaemic episode. Or had very new dental work. Or, heaven forbid, has a serious neurological issue. My late cousin, when sadly she was developing Motor Neurone Disease, started speaking like that. If it were the case that she was drinking that early in the morning, it would indicate quite a problem with alcohol. It may be that she tends to speak that way habitually, an idiosyncrasy.

Maria Bailey needs to do the following

1. Take down her Facebook page immediately.
2. Resign as a TD immediately.
3. Apologize to the Irish people for gross errors of judgment.
4. Apologize to the Hotel for a spurious claim. Pay them compensation for the hassle she has caused them.
5. Forfeit any post Dail income/pension she is legally entitled to if any.
6. Stay away from media interviews be they written or verbal
7. Keep a low profile from now on.

All that is for the little people. D4s are different

This is where you can check if the solicitor is under sanction.

Depends on the services provided. Solicitors helping you buy a house for example are required to verify your identity under money laundering legislation.

One of the problems here is that solicitors are in effect self-regulating via the law society.

And one of the most frustrating aspects of this is that when a representative of the LS is interviewed about bogus claims and unwinnable cases, they will claim that solicitors to a fault, never bring cases to court that are clearly fraudulent, are never involved in legal scams, and never bring a case that they think they can't win.

So as long as the law society continues to pretend that there's nothing wrong and that solicitors are infallible professionals who perform their role impeccably, dodgy solicitors will continue taking the piss.

Agreed they are one of the last 'closed shops' that need regulation - they are literally a law unto themselves.

Excellent. That's the exact kind of solicitor I need for the kind of case I have in mind... Now I just need to find a badly placed swing.

Bailey is being abandoned by the FG sisterhood fairly quickly. They have eyes on her handy chairperson job with an extra 9000 a year job.

You can extra money for these chair positions?! Is it not just a job assignment? Ffs...

You might be giddy, but the image in your mind is a fiction. And this is the problem here with fact and fabrication being freely mixed - she was NOT drunk. She had one glass of wine earlier, and had not drunk anything in The Dean. But dont let that get in the way of a good laugh if you dont care about being fair.

You seem to be very definite about this. Were you there?

Patrick J Madigan (Senior), sanctioned.

She’s not from D4 and doesn’t represent D4. The incident didn’t happen in D4, she doesn’t work in D4.

D4 is a state of mind

I think, taking the lead from John Waters, perhaps means D4 as a state of mind not an actual postcode.

From "Jiving at the Crossroads":
These were the equivalent of what in London were known as the “chattering classes”: people who, through their jobs in the media, the civil service and the professions were in a position to influence the direction of society in an intravenous manner, and who were not shy about giving vent to their opinions at every available opportunity.’ (p.107-08). ‘“Dublin 4” was an attitude of mind, an attitude that had become impatient with the reality of life in modern Ireland. There was those who held that the term defined a class of people who regarded themselves as the social and intellectual élite of modern Ireland, but who ideally would have liked to have been born somewhere else.

Surprised she remembers anything.

She had a bottle of beer in one hand and was reaching for a friends wine bottle with the other hand when she "fell".

We need to see the video footage of the incident in 8mm camera.
IF we slow it down, just so, we can see one frame where a man, matching the height and build of Alan Shatter, is pushing her off the swing.
This is all a setup.

I did a quick google. and was inclined to agree with the statement of a HIgh Court Judge, who noted that the internet is "an easy, inexpensive and instant means of "allowing unscrupulous persons or ill-motivated malcontents to vent their anger and grievances against people, where their allegations are patently untrue and unreasonable"

No more a magnet for cranks than a trip advisor review I would think.

SOR: Ok, one bottle of beer in one hand ...

MB: I had my beer in my hand, and then I was reaching for my friend’s, I had a bottle of wine, she was taking her camera out of her jacket, I then found myself on the floor.






Maria appears to had both the wine and the beer and was reaching for her friends
