E75 The Fifth Court - recorded at the Solicitor's Growth Summit


Our hosts, Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL are joined by barrister Joe Brolly BL, the well know GAA football analyst who played at senior level for Derry and was a member of that county's only All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winning side in 1993. An entertaining romp through the life and times of the well known lawyer and pundit. About the Northern Troubles, according to Joe his mother always said, 'he started the Troubles'. Having won an All-Ireland he was dispirited and wondered 'Is that it?' He denies Mary McAleese's description of him being (one of her) outstanding students. Great entertainment.

His book recommendation? 'The Fight' by Norman Mailer.


Peter and Mark also delve into three more cases from the Decisis.ie casebook. They include:

  • A bankruptcy case where there was non-disclosure of a property in Thailand and a BVI company.
  • A case involving an 'enduring power of attorney' where a woman was said not to have the ability to control her own affairs.
  • A child abduction case where the judge decided it was not in the child's interest to be sent back to Ireland from Poland.
