New developments in campaign to clean up the legal profession
Having successfully seen off the challenges to the web sites and John Gill, the VLPS is moving forward with greater vigour and determination than ever. Action plans have been made and 2007 will be the year that the people of ireland wiil take back control of their country from the priviledged and over arrogant legal profession.
The long drawn out, much publicised, and quite disgraceful abuse of the High Court by the legal professions and judiciary to closedown freedom of the internet did not go unnoticed. The worlds media picked up on the newspaper reports and the hit rate on the www.rate-your-solicitor.com and www.crookedlawyers.com soared to almost 1 million hits. Many supportive messages and offers of support from overseas poured in for John Gill and the VLPS. The idea that a couple of young legal fledglings could hatch up a plot, plant vile comments about one of them and then blame John Gill and take him to court eight times, purely on the basis that his name is listed as a contact person for the VLPS, has outraged decent people all over the world. International lawyers have been closely following the proceedings and were disgusted by Judge Joe Finnegan, then President of the High Court, now called to the Supreme Court, making outrageous threats from the bench directed at all and sundry. President Judge Finnegan, whose courts let drug dealing, gun toting gangsters out on bail, threatened to make all VLPS members poorer and to send John Gill to jail. In reaction to such carry-on in the Irish Courts, offers of legal assistance have come forward from around the world.
Last week, John Gill and other VLPS members, met the internationally famous barrister, Mr Rolyn Seeboruth. A one-time Chief Magistrate in Mauritius, Mr Seeboruth now practices internationally from a base in UK. He has lately been accredited to the Irish Bar and is establishing an office in Cork to work with VLPS to give direct advice (no solicitor needed) and help to Irish citizens who have been abused and betrayed by Irish lawyers. He is only one of a growing number of legally qualified people attending VLPS meetings around the country. Also last week, in Enniscorthy, sixty vocal and able people from sixteen counties, met to plan the way forward for 2007. People who had lost hope of getting titles, settling wills, publicising crooked lawyers and getting a fair hearing in Irish Courts are pooling their knowledge and there courage. Led by the plucky, John Gill from Clare, they are on the move. Let all muddling, obfuscating, arrogant, greedy or cowardly lawyers look out and let young, idealistic and good lawyers take courage and help VLPS take back the Courts, the Bar Council and the Law Society from those who have abused their exalted positions over many years. Happy Christmas and a brighter New Year to all!
