- General comment
I love the podcast. I play it regularly and repeat hearings because I am a lay litigant serving a pupil age in my own case/s arising out of contentious probate. I appreciated podcast no 34. I find the podcast informative and easy to follow. If I had an opportunity to recommend a book aside from the Supreme Court as mentioned by Justice Hogan ( loved that read) I would mention Lawful Occasions by late Patrick McKenize. Enjoyable little book.

As a tutor in social studies and a former HSE social worker ( family support) I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast- many of the observations regarding access along with legal aid development was enlightening- best of luck

Very well put across. Fascinating content for anyone outside of law circles to get a professional’s viewpoint of the courts in Ireland. Really interesting guests especially the first episode discussing the history of the Irish constitution.
