JUDGE JOHN O'HAGAN

From the Rate Your Solicitor site under the section about Judge O'Hagan:

"9th Oct 2009 Mrs. O'Connor
O'Hagan should stick to acting.  The bench isn't the place for double standards or personalities.  Let fairness and equality come to play before Sean McGlynn stains his robes forever.  It suggests something is terribly wrong when a judge would bear the sins of a solicitor.  What must he be afraid of, what does Mr. McGlynn have on the judge, it must be big."

Drama and intrigue!  "stains his robes".  "bear the sins of a solicitor".  Shakespear must be turning in his grave! 

But seriously, given the fact that another judge, Judge Edwards of the High Court, has upheld the decision of Judge John O'Hagan, and that another judge of the High Court held against Daniel and Elva Gallagher AGAINST Sean and Catherine McGlynn, is it even remotely possible that Mr. McGlynn as suggested has something on every single judge in Ireland?

This alone shows how ludicrous their entire site actually is.

TIME TO UPDATE!

Yes, I have been tardy with this blog.  The holiday home is fully booked for the summer so this has been keeping me busy.

However, I have some bits and bobs to add here so will do so either over the weekend or the start of next week.

SANCTIMONIOUS OLD CURMUDGEONS

I was googling 'the Bog Hotel' the other day prior to our intended visit to it and came across this by "Joe Ferris" which is more than likely just another nom de plume of St. John, The Lone Ranger:

"Would VLPS members, perhaps agree that ‘Patsy Brogan’s 60sq m garden-shed bar in a bog in the Bluestack Mountains in Donegal’ would appear to be ‘Defacto A Bar’ and equivalent to ‘if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a duck’?


Are VLPS members, perhaps puzzled as to the contradiction ‘Mr. Brogan said they might marry in Donegal, instead of Poland, because a hotelier told him he can have it for free’ and not in the ‘Bog Hotel’ ‘Patsy Brogan’s 60sq m garden-shed bar in a bog in the Bluestack Mountains in Donegal’?

PS Given the requirements as stated below:-

(they then go on to print parts of the Intoxicating Liquor Act).

Are VLPS members sceptical that the ‘Bog Hotel’ is completely free and Mr. Brogan is the Donegal Santa Claus and is not in breach of ‘7.—(1) From and after the passing of this Act no person shall sell, expose for sale, or keep for sale, by retail, any intoxicating liquor without being duly licensed so to sell the same, or at any place where he is not authorised by his licence to sell the same.’?

Are VLPS members also asking, “Where is the money coming from that Mr. Brogan can provide alcohol free to the public in his ‘Bog Hotel’’?

Would VLPS members, further agree that whilst RTE has Podge and Rodge in Donegal we have ‘Paudge and Friends’ ‘tangled web of deceit’ in the Administration of Law and Justice, in keeping with the quotation below? J.F.

O what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive.
—Sir Walter Scott, 1808

Did you ever read such a heap of sanctimonious drivel?  What is wrong with these old curmudgeons, sitting on their tinfoil thrones trying to tear others apart?  They don't appear to have one pleasant thought in their vacuous heads.  Where do they get off tearing people they don't even know apart?  What business is it of theirs what Patsy Brogan does or does not do?  He won the case fairly and squarely.  Mind you, the fact he used an actual solicitor probably doesn't sit well with them.

Perhaps they should get out more, live a little, speak to people who have a life and have happy thoughts.  Maybe even take a trip to the Bog Hotel themselves.  The difference between them and the lovely visitors I was chatting to on our visit to the bog hotel, all laughing and having fun, is so huge it is sad. 

And another thing, WHAT is with all the legalese used?  Are they all, perchance, wannabe lawyers at heart swinging brick?

Finally, I laughed at the choice of quote used by this bunch of blatant liars and scandalmongers.  Oh, the irony.

PERSONAL ATTACKS

On crooked lawyers and rate your solicitor, I notice that I (Catherine McGlynn) feature extensively.  The posters (aka John Gill and his tiny band of decrepid sychophantic followers) feel the need to make the most ridiculous personal comments about me.

Surely if these people are supposed to be working for people who have genuine concerns or complaints about the legal profession they should be concentrating their efforts on trying to resolve those concerns and complaints rather concentrating their time on personal attacks?  But a lot of us know that helping people is not their main concern, their main concern is to grind their own particular axe.

They post things about me such 'as her glistening dentures', something that actually made me smile.  Why?  The word 'glistening'.  I have all my own teeth, not a denture in sight (or in mouth for that matter) and to think one of these people noticed I have glistening teeth is very nice.  Thank you.

They also say things like 'in her mid to late 50's'.  What can I say ~ they should have gone to Specsavers.

Oh, and the ones that make me laugh most of all?  Comments about my ability as a photographer.  First, I am of course not a professional photographer ~ it is my passion.  Someone (John, his companion, or one of their sychophants) said 'blurry' photos.  I have discarded more excellent photos as not been good enough than any of The Lone Ranger's Little Folk will ever manage to take in their combined lifetimes.  They even said the credits people have posted about my photos were posted by me under various names.  My photos on flickr have been viewed by (currently) 19,407 people and commented on by many of those.  In reality who on earth (or at least who with a modicom of intelligence) could imagine even I could manage all that!  Oh, and let me show my selection of Donegal photos just to show they are fairly good http://www.flickr.com/photos/donegalireland/sets/

Ut est verum.

THE LONE RANGER HAS BEEN CANONISED!

I took a little visit to the crooked laywers site recently and I can honestly say I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

It turns out that 'The Lone Ranger' has been canonised.  I kid you not, posters on their guest book refer to him as 'St. John' and give him acolades such as "If John can't get it done, no-one can".  Well, clearly no-one can get whatever "it" is done, since The Lone Ranger is a bit of a disaster himself ~ a registered bankrupt and a jailbird, having spent time behind bars recently as a guest of the State.

The site is bursting with a) John Gill posting under various names; b) his little handful of faithful followers posting under various names; and c) a combination of a and b here  posting sychophantic slurry, tickling the feathers of their hero ~ St. John, The Lone Ranger of County Clare.  (And don't forget folks, this bankrupt wants YOUR money "so any donations will be very welcome indeed.  Please send to Mr John Gill, Drumline, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare.").

WOULD YOU LET YOUR ELDERLY HUSBAND GO TO JAIL?

22nd February 2010

Think about it.  Would you want an elderly relative to go to jail?  Would you stand back and see your elderly husband go to jail?  Would you stand back and allow your grandfather or father to go to jail?  I think not.

But today in Carrick on Shannon Elva Gallagher let her elderly husband go to jail.  AGAIN.  And for the THIRD time.  And why?  Well to futher her inflated self importance.

Although Elva and her pensioner supporters arrived on time, her elderly (and according to them, sickly) husband was not there.  No, she knew he had to be there by order of the Court in Letterkenny last week but rather than travelling together she chose to engage the services and expense of the State yet again to bring Daniel to Court.  But then SHE wasn't expecting to go to jail.

Daniel did arrive eventually, having been escorted by the Gardai from his home in Donegal and guess what? he was committed to prison for two weeks.  I'm sure his wife wasn't surprised.  She never has been. 

It was notable today that the self appointed 'Lone Ranger' (for those who don't know, that is John Gill who swore an Affidavit saying he believed he was the Lone Ranger) was not present today as he was indisposed.  No, not Swine flu, rather he chose the wrong words or attitude in the High Court in Dublin last week as a result of which he was found himself in contempt of court (what's new?) and was sent to jail.

So today Elva walks around like the old queen bee amongst her followers whilst her elderly huband is taken away to jail and her very best and closest friend John Gill too is in jail.  Femme fatal or what?

So who do you feel sorry for?
