Pensioner facing jail for building log cabin on his land – 'I have nowhere else to go'

https://www.sundayworld.com/crime/courts/pensioner-facing-jail-for-building-log-cabin-on-his-land-i-have-nowhere-else-to-go/a901576048.html

And yet any old shit can be thrown together to fill with asylum seekers and the planning laws don't apply.

It's no wonder people are annoyed whatever way you skin it.

Anyway we've enough threads of all that already so I think it's more to the point about the sentencing in this one and it's a fucking joke of a country in that regard. It really is

Is there anything that can be done to bring meaningful change to the sentencing in this Kip?

Building a prison might be a good start.

I've been called for jury duty next week. I'll do my very best to help....
Assuming I can't manage to get the fuck out of having to do it in the meantime that is  :laugh:

I was called for it 2 years ago, I ignored the letter and never heard anymore about it.

I've girls the same age as those victims, fucking sickens me seeing the slap on the wrists and protections these cunts get. Think the mother summed it up pretty well

QuoteIt's a very sad place that we are in, in 2024, that once again, sex crimes against children are excused so as not to tarnish the good, hardworking man.

Killed. They should be killed.

I see there was an arrest made related to the recent murder in Cobh.

Not the first time this lad has been in trouble, got a complete suspended sentence a few years back for breaking someone's jaw because the judge reckoned he's actually a good egg.

Quote"It was a very serious assault. He has paid €5,000 which is not much but I am told he is doing the best he can in his circumstances.

"I am impressed the accused has not come to the attention of the gardaí since and has behaved himself."

Dylan Scannell of 27 Foster's Haven, Cobh, Co Cork, got a two-year jail term suspended in its entirety.

That was a grim read. Shocking stuff. Absolute scum who will continue to be before the courts on countless charges. I hope the victim makes a full recovery.

There's actually a twist in that tale. Your man's sons who were estranged from him got over 100k through a gofundme which were for medical expenses. They never gave the man a cent, took off with the cash claiming it all went on travel? Two lads from the states in a big standard hotel here 100k madness.

QuoteJudge Leech ordered the pair, who have yet to enter pleas, to appear again at the District Court on 10 June to be served with books of evidence and for the granting of return for trial orders.

Mr Donaghey, who previously had to surrender his passport to gardaí as a condition of bail, was allowed to get it back for two weeks in May when he will be away on holiday.

In January, the proceedings heard that he was getting social welfare but was looking for work.

Legal aid was granted to the pair.

Fantastic use of our tax dollars

Why did they ask him to surrender his passport if they were only giving it back to him when he needed it?
