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
Forcing myself to write a blog post every day
Forcing myself to write on this blog every day obliges me, each morning, to look around and wrack my brain for something to write about. This has the enormous benefit of forcing me to cycle back through the last day, and week if necessary, to find something worthy of comment. It may not be the… Continue reading Forcing myself to write a blog post every day
Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?
The significant revenue increase on my YouTube channel from my videos covering the Conor McGregor trial have been an eye opener. I never saw YouTube as being of any significance from an ad revenue perspective. But I have to reconsider the situation now and think about whether I want to make videos for ad revenue… Continue reading Ad revenue from YouTube-worth chasing?
Why I am happy with the outcome of the election
I am pleased with the outcome of the general election in 2024. It is not clear yet how a government will be formed, nor who will be Taoiseach. What is pleasing for me, however, is the fact that in the exit poll carried out the question of “immigration” was only the top priority for 6%… Continue reading Why I am happy with the outcome of the election

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
Peeling the spuds while making a video
I made a video yesterday evening as I peeled potatoes for the dinner. And it elicited a tremendous response, especially about the everyday activity I was engaged in as I made the video. Commenters asked what kind of potatoes they were, advised me to buy a potato peeler as it would be quicker, how I… Continue reading Peeling the spuds while making a video
Costs in the Nikita Hand/Conor McGregor case
The costs hearing in the Nikita Hand/Conor McGregor/James Lawrence case was to take place today but I learned on the news last night that it has been put back to next week. I wonder why. The costs order should, on the face of it, be a straightforward affair. “Costs follow the event” is the usual… Continue reading Costs in the Nikita Hand/Conor McGregor case
Developing the skill of ignoring comments
I am a firm believer in a person’s ability to acquire a new skill through practice, repetition and assiduous application of one’s mind and energy. Thus, I believe I have become better at ignoring comments online on sites like YouTube, TikTok and elsewhere. I have more work to do to truly become bullet proof from… Continue reading Developing the skill of ignoring comments
Smart alec comments will be ignored
It would be easy for me to be put off my stride by unpleasant, sneering comments on my YouTube channel, and let those comments determine or influence how I make my videos. But it is something I must guard against and ensure it does not happen. Because for every smart alec, sneering comment there are… Continue reading Smart alec comments will be ignored
