Is there an issue with female solicitors being treated as ‘less’?
What has Ammi done that has anything to do with her gender and not to do with her actions? This article baffles me.
I’m sure there are instances of sexism in the world of a female solicitor..
..and she will move the heavens and the earth to make it impossible to tell if the treatment is all just due to her being a nutcase.
Jesus, that writer sounds like a burke supporter at times…
There is plenty of workplace discrimination, and this needs to be a thing of the past. However, the burkes cause most of their own issues, and they are a shower of loons that need locking in a padded cell rather than let be general wankbags to the rest of civilised society.
>Enoch, the public perception is of icy self-containment. There may even be a turning tide – some in the legal profession believe he has a case on the manner of his dismissal.
“People are saying”
Wtf is happening over at the IT?
I’m convinced the Irish Times know alot of their ad revenue comes from clicks from repostings of their trash opinion pieces on Reddit. I wish people would stop giving the IT and these opinon pieces the oxygen they crave.
On the one hand, opinion pieces are meant to showcase a range of opposing opinions. And there is surely a minority of this population which holds anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage views. While many people don’t agree with their views, their mostly normal upstanding members of society.
There might be 1/3 of the population who oppose the referenda over the past ten years, but they have little in common with the Burkes & Anne Harris besides that. The Burkes don’t really represent anyone besides themselves. I don’t see the feminist angle to this – she was thrown out of the WRC and the courts for what would be disgraceful behavior from any adult, let alone a qualified solicitor. The opinion piece is like the Burkes in court – throw anything and everything at the paper and see what sticks… not a great form of argument.
> a clearly talented young solicitor
What’s the basis for this.
If I was up in court she’s the last person I’d like defending me – she seems to have no idea how to get people around to her view.
Maybe she’s gifted in other areas of law but is there any evidence of that?
