A guy enquired the other day about my shares/investing course which I had online a few years ago. I stopped selling my courses (investing, property, discipline procedure in the workplace) because the platform on which I hosted them, Teachable, was prohibitively expensive. But the enquiry I received this week on Instagram has prompted me to… Continue reading Reviving my online courses

The Enoch Burke comments online
It is difficult to know if certain Enoch Burke supporters publish the online comments they do in the full knowledge that they are wrong/mistaken but go ahead and make the comments anyway, for whatever reason. Or if they genuinely believe them and they are genuinely held views. For example, the comment that Enoch Burke will… Continue reading The Enoch Burke comments online
“I stand with Enoch”
“I stand with Enoch”. I have been reading that online on various social media sites for the last two years, or thereabouts. A few days ago I read online about a planned demonstration of support for Enoch Burke which was to take place yesterday outside Wilson’s Hospital School. This morning, I read there was approximately… Continue reading “I stand with Enoch”
Diarmuid Phelan Acquitted of Murder
I am surprised at the verdict brought in by the jury in the murder trial of Diarmuid Phelan, Trinity College law professor and Senior Counsel. I can understand the acquittal of the charge of murder but expected manslaughter to be the verdict. I am not seeking to undermine or question the verdict and am sure… Continue reading Diarmuid Phelan Acquitted of Murder
Enoch Burke-where, and how, will this end?
Enoch Burke was released from Mountjoy Prison by the High Court yesterday. He had not purged his contempt. In fact, I am not even sure he was invited, as he usually is, to purge it. But the Judge took the view that Burke’s preference, for whatever reason, was to stay in jail. So he released… Continue reading Enoch Burke-where, and how, will this end?
Injuries Resolution Board mediation service
The Injuries Resolution Board now has a mediation service offering and I experienced it for the first time last week. The two options up to now if you had a personal injury claim was to accept the assessment by the Injuries Resolution Board and hope that the respondent also accepted it. If that happened an… Continue reading Injuries Resolution Board mediation service
Enduring power of attorney-are the misgivings overblown?
We have not made any effort, for a considerable period of time, to provide the service of helping people make an enduring power of attorney. However, I think we probably should and the misgivings, partly created by the Law Society of Ireland, in the legal profession may be overblown and overestimated. It is something I… Continue reading Enduring power of attorney-are the misgivings overblown?
Topical trials as a gateway to my brand
A surprising consequence of covering the Conor McGregor civil trial and Diarmuid Phelan criminal trial is the request by certain people to cover certain other trials. I never anticipated this and will have to look at it, especially if I want to maximise views and ad revenue on my YouTube channel. This is not something… Continue reading Topical trials as a gateway to my brand
Enoch Burke back in the High Court soon
Enoch Burke will be back in the High Court soon and will be asked if he is willing to undertake to abide by the High Court order regarding him trespassing on the school grounds of Wilson’s Hospital School. Sooner or later, he will have to give that undertaking or he will be depending on the… Continue reading Enoch Burke back in the High Court soon
ChatGPT in the solicitor’s practice
I began to look again at Artificial Intelligence this week, and how it might help me in my everyday life, particularly in my solicitor’s practice. I had attended a CPD event last week and one of the talks was about the use of ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence in a legal practice. The speaker was from… Continue reading ChatGPT in the solicitor’s practice
