The victim in this tragedy was a friend of mine, a wonderful human being, a great husband and father, much missed by everyone who knew him. The court report is worth reading.

Pretty excoriating ruling on UCC’s treatment of a professor in terminating his employment.

Interesting. Practising barristers and solicitors are not eligible to serve on juries in Ireland.

2 of Trump’s jurors are lawyers. Would they acquit on a technicality? politi.co/3W0wtK7

Well argued.

One of those rare occurrences where we have an indirectly elected judiciary.

Stephen Cluxton named in goal for Dublin, 23 years after making his debut against Longford. He's been playing championship since before the Euro came in.

This extraordinary almost stellar image and the haunting sound of sirens over the beautiful Dome of the Rock marks a new era and a new moment in the history of Jerusalem, the Holy Land and the Middle East.

Tricky career tip to work on tbh.

Words that everyone in politics uses incorrectly.

1. “Fulsome” - if you say someone has given a “fulsome apology”, you are suggesting it was so over the top as to be insincere.
2. It’s not a podium, it’s a lectern, unless the Prime Minister has won an Olympic medal.

Good, wide ranging reflection by Leo Varadkar on his time in government. Most interesting was his comment that he’d been too cautious, and that advice from civil servants, academics was too conservative.

Someone has to be right I suppose. Unless she stays exactly where she is…

That is quite well done.

If this is still on the books let’s head to the High Court.
