The employment cases that stir the emotions

I’m surprised by the number of solicitors who do not do employment law or have made the intentional decision to avoid it. It is probably because of the sheer quantity of laws and regulations surrounding employment law, and the many frequent changes, that make it a murky, labyrinthine area of law. Much of it can… Continue reading The employment cases that stir the emotions

The future of podcasting? 

When I revived my podcast, the Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, in the last 12 months or so and decided to relaunch it on Spotify I never expected it would be such a positive move and the results would be as solid as they have been. Many great benefits have flown from that decision… Continue reading The future of podcasting? 

Podcast growth one idea/observation/nugget at a time

I was in two minds a few weeks ago about having my podcast, the Irish Law and Small Business Podcast, on YouTube as an audio only podcast. But it is working out well and I am getting satisfactory listening figures and new subscribers from YouTube.

I have published a video this morning on my YouTube channel about international protection law in Ireland. This covers the area of seeking/claiming asylum in Ireland. This is a topic that generates a lot of heat in Irish society nowadays with regular protests at various appointed centres around the country for asylum seekers.

My YouTube channel has taken off (and I’m not sure why)

I am not sure why my YouTube channel has experienced such a spell of growth as it has in the last month or so. To put the growth in context, in December I was growing at a rate of 200-300 new subscribers every 28 days. In the last 28 days, however, I have gained 1,600… Continue reading My YouTube channel has taken off (and I’m not sure why)

Wills rows

I receive a large number of queries about wills of parents from disappointed children. You might think that disputes and grievances and family rows are exaggerated in movies to make a decent story. You might think that you would never fall out with your siblings about a parent’s will. But you would not believe the… Continue reading Wills rows

Sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace is alive and well in 2024

I have heard a story in the last week or so of sexual harassment in the workplace that amazes me in 2024. It is an appalling story of injustice and discrimination. The fact that this type of thing is still going on is mind boggling. When I sit looking and listening to the young woman… Continue reading Sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace is alive and well in 2024

My video about the Kyle Hayes case went 

My video about the Kyle Hates criminal case in Limerick went viral yesterday.

It has also been viewed by thousands of Instagram and Facebook account holders.… Continue reading My video about the Kyle Hayes case went 

Podcasts on YouTube

Did you know that YouTube have got into podcasting in the last year or two? And not just video podcasts, but regular audio podcasts. I submit the RSS feed from my podcast, “The Irish Law and Small Business Podcast”, from Spotify/Anchor to YouTube. The results have been pleasantly surprising. Because YouTube seems to be finding… Continue reading Podcasts on YouTube
