I am having fun at the moment building out my podcast, The Irish Law and Small Podcast. I am not doing it because I need to. I am doing it because When I say that I already have all the material I am referring to the audio files from my YouTube videos which comprise the… Continue reading Building out my podcast, The Irish Law and Small Business Podcast

Speeding and road deaths
There has been a shocking spate of road traffic accidents in the last few weeks, including two in Tipperary. One of the young girls who lost her life with two friends on the day her Leaving Cert results came out was buried yesterday. It was terribly sad. She had just learned that day that she… Continue reading Speeding and road deaths
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)-an important piece of legislation?
Karlin Lillington, in the Irish Times today, is opining that the European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) came into effect last week and is one of the most important pieces of legislation you “never heard of”. I have a strong interest in digital services, having built my business on the platforms provided by digital service… Continue reading The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA)-an important piece of legislation?
The return of Enoch Burke
I read online with interest about the return of Enoch Burke to Wilson’s Hospital School for the new school year. The school terminated his employment earlier this year and there has been long running, and expensive, legal proceedings concerning the dispute between the parties. Burke has one remaining chance to be reinstated in his old… Continue reading The return of Enoch Burke
The Red History Museum, Dubrovnik
We visited the Red History Museum in Dubrovnik and it was well worth a visit. The history of Yugoslavia, Tito, Communism, the two world wars etc. is a tremendously interesting one with after-effects still being felt today. This museum gives us a glimpse into life in Yugoslavia under communist rule and has a great deal… Continue reading The Red History Museum, Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik-the verdict
Dubrovnik is undoubtedly pretty on first arrival. Physically extremely attractive, the old town is easily negotiable and fully pedestrianised. After a few days, however, you begin to think about a Game of Thrones film set, about Airbnb, and overpriced, expensive restaurants. Two or three days is enough for us, anyway. The history of the area… Continue reading Dubrovnik-the verdict
Dubrovnik, Crotia
We arrived in Dubrovnik yesterday and we are staying in the old town. Stunning place, very hot (31 C yesterday and today). Looking forward to going on some type of walking tour today and learning about the history of the place, the bombing of the city in 1990/1991, and more. Here are some images:
Email or podcast?
I am constantly mulling over and thinking about the areas of marketing in which I should concentrate my time and attention. I am trying to develop my podcast, the Irish law and small business podcast, and intend giving it more serious attention in the future. But I have neglected my email marketing and feel bad… Continue reading Email or podcast?
Trump’s mugshot-a truly iconic image
A cock will crow on his own dunghill. But the majesty of the law will not be set aside. Even in Fulton County, Georgia. For those of us who recognise the Rule of Law and love democracy, this image is truly iconic.
The “hate speech” Facebook post and the employer’s common mistake
I published a video yesterday about the WRC case in which an employee was awarded €10,500, part of which was for unfair dismissal. The circumstances giving rise to her dismissal surrounded a Facebook post she had allegedly made which her employer viewed as “hate speech”. It concerned refugees coming to Ireland and was, shall we… Continue reading The “hate speech” Facebook post and the employer’s common mistake
