Mattie, is it true that in legal circles in Cork, that only family members need apply to the big cushy positions?
a solicitor friend of mine at a wedding in Kerry last year received a phone call from the gaurds saying one of his free legal aid clients needed him at a station, this was just as we were sitting down for the meal. He left and drove back to Cork to meet this repeat offender and on returning late that night he said to me that he had to go because the prisoner in question was, and I quote "worth too much to him"

I mean the crowd that are in places like Court House chambers, are these big wigs barristers?
With regard to my first point, people refer to it at the legal trade.
I have always called it the legal business as it is a bloody racket.

Like cushy positions in family firms? Or other cushy positions? Your post isn't exactly clear.
I'm pretty sure the same controls applies to banks and many other industries yet fraud happens and people get away with it for a number of reasons. Your opinion that it is virtually impossible seems very naive to me. Accountants can only analyse the accounts they are given, they very rarely will find something they are not looking for or don't know exists. It is generally only when the fraud is revealed that all the relevant details come to light i.e Anglo, Irish Permanent dodgy loan. So basically Smaug is correct in his assertions, in many cases it is only the greed of the perpetrator that is their undoing, if say after a one year period without detection they decamped to foreign climes you'd probably see that it is quite easy to get away with, especially in cases where the client trusts the trustee of their funds and therefore is unlikely to constantly monitor these funds. Checks and balances are fine but they are only useful to a certain extent, in fact you could argue that because people know these checks are in place they become more trusting and thus more susceptible to fraud.
If you look at your point logically then because it is virtually impossible to get away with fraud would imply someone would need to quite stupid to even attempt it, yet we know it happens, so are you saying many in the legal profession (and others) are quite thick??
Another thread about solicitors and we never got to the bottom of this one ......

Believe it or not, I don't get a chance to answer every question on here when it is asked! Answered for you now though.
Did you get unbanned and immediately search proc for "legal questions" and "clerical abuse"?
