offsite link Unmasking the Greenhalgh Mask Study Sat Jun 07, 2025 09:00 | Dr Roger Watson
When the Cochrane review found no evidence face masks were effective, mask zealots couldn't let it stand. They produced their own 'scientific' review. But it's little more than cherry-picking, says Prof Roger Watson.

Remarks by judge Sean O Donnabhain, Cork

category cork | crime and justice | other press author Friday May 20, 2011 22:20author by Legal Eagle Report this post to the editors

Not happy with judge's remarks

RCNI legal director is not at all happy with judge Sean O Donovan's remarks in court.

However, it is alleged that this is not the first time that this judge has used colourful language in court.

Its interesting to read Michael Mc Dowell's article in the Sunday Independent, May 15th 2011, where he states "Typically, a solicitoror barrister in her or his mid-fifties is chosen on the basis that he or she has demonstrared intellectual capacity, independence of mind, and teperamental suitability to serve for 15 years with a retirement age of 70 (previously 72)"

Im afraid this judge showed very little intellectual capacity here.

We have the Laws Society who is supposed to be monitoring the solicitors.., but who is monitoring the judges. More importantly, the public have no recourse if a judge over steps his authority, an makes a biased judgement, based on his own whims.
