>Paddy Philips, 22, with an address at Lower Maiden Street, Newcastle West, Co Limerick, laughed as some of the evidence of the violent assault was relayed at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court.
The law is an ass.

Sixteen previous convictions and still no sentence. Victim still on a HSE waiting list for his injuries nearly 18 months later. Couldn’t find a more Irish story if you tried.

Judiciary is a fucking joke tbh

Should really get the same coverage as the soldier case if we want to see any kind of change. This reads like something from Waterford Whispers. How can they expect people to feel safe if you get kicked in the head by someone with 18 previous convictions, who laughs in court as evidence is given, gets a suspended sentence?

I think now is the time for a violent crime spree, seen as there’s no chance of any fucking concquences.

He’s lucky he didn’t sell a fire stick before nearly killing someone.

We need a sub dedicated to how poor our justice system is, more exposure might help in highlighting it.

Irish people, as always, sit back and take this shite. So glad to be out of the country now. When will you finally stand up for the abhorrent widespread crime and injustice in your country? It seems there is no justice there.

I wouldn’t blame people for taking the law into their own hands at this stage.

“Philips entered a ‘guilty plea’ eliminating the requirement for a trial”
That shouldn’t be taken into account as he denied it entirely and only plead guilty when show video evidence.

If actions have no consequences, you get problems.

Bad court thingy, this

16 previous convictions, initially blamed others before CCTV showed it was him and laughed at the evidence in court and walks away.
God forbid you take some money out of Sky TV’s pockets though. Straight to jail for that.

At least he didn’t sell any dodgy boxes! Phew…

What planet are these judges on? 16 previous and he gets off because he hasn’t committed this exact type of crime before??

No justice there

He will murder his girlfriend and the justice system will be shocked at how this could happen! McEntee will come out again and call for longer sentences for domestic violence. Nothing will change, cycle repeats.
