John Finucane is a solicitor, he represents people, sometimes criminals in court
While even criminals need representation, a politician representing a known mobster is extremely dodgy and the firm should have refused to represent him. I’ve no doubt Finucane is a good guy but politicians shouldn’t accept blood money.
It’s not like he’s a barrister (who cannot refuse clients).
– One of SF’s Dublin councillors is a cousin of Daniel Kinihan.
– A TD & their ex partner where guests of honour at a boxing event, hosted by the monk shortly before the regency attack.
– Then you have all the Dowdall stuff.
Make whatever from it you want but there’s links there.
The comments in this thread really bear out the idea that populism is incompatible with a sophisticated understanding of the issues.
It’s so obvious that this isn’t appropriate. All you gobshites think drug dealers have some constitutional right to get dodgy solicitors to write dodgy letters threatening people.

The NI thread is the very same.
