Judge brands Tyrone people 'typically thick'
A judge from the Republic has branded people from Tyrone as typically thick.
It would seem difficult to disagree with him were it not for the fact that it was his own justice administration making a fuck-up that put her there in the first place.
His comments came after a woman from Donaghmore was wrongly summonsed to court because her details matched those of another woman and, being from Northern Ireland, she didn't have any Euros on her to pay to have the case thrown out.
Edit: Apparently this is the same judge who responded to a defendant who gave his address as Londonderry by saying he "didn't want to see this rubbish coming before him again" and that as far as he was concerned it was "just Derry with a capital D."
People in glass houses, your honour.

I didn't see that quote first time. He's even better than I thought.
McBride J for Chief Justice!

Mike,
You forgot Koenigsberg or Kaliningrad.

This judge really embarrassed himself, what sort of a idiot comes out with such prejudice statement that has no evidence supporting it. The irony that it was his own justice administration making a fuck-up that put her there in the first place. Questions really have to be asked about the integrety of any of this judges decisions!!!

What kind of an idiot system wrongly summons somebody and then CHARGES them for throwing the case out ?
What kind of idiot state employs such as an idiot judge and operates such an idiot system ?

Mike,
Joking aside (and I think the Tyrone and Derry comments were hilarious - albeit somewhat inappropriate in a court of law), it is extremely odd that this woman who was wrongly summonsed to court should have to pay to have the case against her thrown out.
The lady in question should have stormed out in a huff and sat on the steps of the courthouse in protest - now THAT would have been a typical Tyrone reaction!

How would it have worked if she'd managed to flee and escape back across the border? Could anyone really see an extradition over this? Unless I'm mistaken the Republic doesn't actually have an extradition treaty with the UK (or Colombia), hence the south representing safe-harbour for those fleeing the law. Presumably it would also work in reverse, especially for something so stupid.

They do have an Extradition treaty. All the EU has one. The Republic doesn't have one with Columbia, so they can't extradite the Columbia 3 unless they go north of the border.
Also stop harping on about the Columbia 3, they were never found guilty during a trial, so they aren't running from an impartial law.

If the Republic doesnt have an extradition treaty with the UK why is it I seem to remember back around 1987 Chucks there running around painting NO EXTRADITION on just every available wall (Including one or two police stations) ?
They were hardly trying to point out the fact ?

This is the second time this prick has opened his big mouth!
The judge along with his colleagues should concentrate on handing down sensible sentences to law breakers.
