Wild, untrue and unproven allegations can still cause reputational damage to your small business

I have written in the past about certain employees overestimating the significance of any publicity surrounding their employment law case at the WRC. Frankly, I have advised them that the issue they are claiming about may play a large part in their life and mind. But for most people it will not move the dial.… Continue reading Wild, untrue and unproven allegations can still cause reputational damage to your small business

Give your solicitor all the facts in advance of the hearing

There is an indescribable sinking feeling when you are in a WRC hearing and it turns out that your client withheld a vital piece of evidence from you prior to the hearing. Notwithstanding that your client has read and approved your proposed submission on his behalf to the WRC weeks in advance, your argument that… Continue reading Give your solicitor all the facts in advance of the hearing

The Irish Law and Small Business Podcast-maximum use of repurposing content

The number of listens per episode, which I check every day on Spotify, continues to increase, along with the number of subscribers/followers.

Many of them are informational or educational, some touch on controversial topics such as Enoch Burke’s dispute with Wilson’s Hospital School or the Kyle Hayes criminal trial in Limerick. Many of the comments on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook are… Continue reading Many of the comments are insane-what’s the point?

They are the bread and butter of an informational/educational YouTube channel such as mine. Relational videos are different. They seek to… Continue reading Making transactional versus relational videos

A clean criminal record and no All Ireland medals or a medal and a conviction?

The household I was brought up in was one in which an All-Ireland medal winner was a man to be looked up to. Revered, even. When I was a young lad, and I know there are many GAA families and households around the country with the same view, the thought of winning an All-Ireland medal… Continue reading A clean criminal record and no All Ireland medals or a medal and a conviction?

Drawing dumb conclusions from the Kyle Hayes sentence

The sentencing in the Kyle Hayes assault case took place yesterday in Limerick Circuit Court. As you would expect the sentence handed down by the Judge has generated an enormous amount of comment online, on platforms like Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, and so forth. What amazes me is the ability of many of the commenters to… Continue reading Drawing dumb conclusions from the Kyle Hayes sentence
