How long must we celebrate failure

I am a criminal defence barrister practicing mainly in the District Court for as little as €25.20 under the criminal legal aid scheme.

Putting it simply, the criminal justice system is broken. Silence is no longer an option.

People must put aside their personal comfort and do the right thing.

I want a justice system that functions - not one that merely survives on hope and goodwill. Victims of crime and wrongly accused persons deserve better. 

Justice on the cheap will cost more in the long run.

God is good - the due administration of justice must be perfect. I pray I am closer to one and can only hope for the other. 

Ireland is fast becoming the juke box of failure rapidly filling with broken records. We have only scratched the surface in the criminal justice system.
