Supreme Court Justice Séamus Woulfe, who as Attorney General, signed off on regulations that prohibited gatherings like the golf outing he would attend a few weeks later
Susan Denham is said to be wedded to the Bangalore (UN) principles on judicial conduct. We will be hearing more of these. They provide the following. And they are not good for Seamus Woulfe. pic.twitter.com/arWNwVSQda

Glorified Barrister. Made AG by FG. Appointed to the Supreme Court by FG. By his behavior, not exactly qualified for either.
I’d take issue with your first statement. He was a very successful Senior Counsel. Can’t deny the rest.
In his position now, he’s a glorified barrister. Nothing more. That’s what I meant.
Just him? or all the Supremes?
Additionally, the Ceann Comhairle said, of the Oireactas Golfing Society that it was never formally established by the Houses of the Oireachtas and has never received any funding. The seating arrangements were on what looked like official State notepaper, using the Harp emblem.

Unauthorised use or Misuse of the State Emblems
Section 97 of the Trade Marks Act 1996 confers enabling powers on the Minister to take action in the event of unauthorised use of the State emblems, or those closely resembling them, by any person in the course of business and in a manner which suggests that the use of the State emblems is authorised.
They’ll have to rename it the Bengaluru thingumajig.
I can’t see anything happening to him tbh
If he hasn’t had the decency to step down himself
Or the cop on to recognise he made a fool of himself and put his entire legal career into disrepute
Like – seriously
He’d actually ate the feckin dinner he says he didn’t know was included
Ara’ would they just stop taking the weewee
Doesn’t say much for the Professional Standards the Law Library attracts
Their exams must be fierce easy
Just coz you’re bright doesn’t mean you’re right-thinking.
Jesus Christ
Surely be ‘t Christ a Judge
And not just an Acting District Judge
A Supreme Judge
Knows the right thinking around being all equal under the law
Ara’ stop
He’s made them a laughing stock
