Woman murdered in Tullamore..

Poor obsessed Dan.

No one in the history of the state has ever been sent to jail for not paying their tv licence. You have amply proven in recent times that you have no understanding of the law though, so it is unsurprising that you can't grasp it.

411 people jailed last year for not paying their TV licence

THE number of people jailed for not paying their television licence surged to 411 last year.

Nope. If you read the article you will see that those people were failed for failure to abide by a court order.

Dan knows this, as does MOE, as it has been explained to them about a thousand times.

There has not been the same national outpouring of anger, grief, for this lady as there was for Aisling Murphy, There certainly was some form of a bandwagon in the aftermath of the Aisling Murphy murder,

Isn't the sentence given as

"€X fine or Y days in lieu'

If you don't pay the fine you get the days instead.

I don't think there is a separate contempt style hearing for not obeying the court order.

So you are going to jail but you can pay a fine not to.

Not paying the fine is not obeying the court order.

So, nobody gets brought to court for not having a tv licence and gets jail. They get a fine, which if they chose not to pay, will result in jail time. And it is a choice. If they are unable to pay they won't be jailed.

Don't they. I know a few people who were briefly held in Cork Prison for not paying fines because they didn't have the money during the last recession.

The Gardai contact you and give you a time frame to make payment. They then give you a date to present yourself to the prison if you haven't paid.

That isn't a jail sentence. They are held pending production of financial evidence.

Stranger murders are always treated differently to domestic ones in terms if public response.

Only Dan could be so filled with hubris as to think that his goggling skills should outweigh my law degree.
