Called for jury duty

Is it possible to search for ongoing proceedings and see when someone/a business might next be up in court so i could tip alongfor a nosey. The courts website is awful to navigate.

Yep. Good chance of finding. Go to search and put the surname in and click search legal diary

Ok Iā€™ll bite for this one.

Why would they call you to Galway if youā€™re living and working for God knows how long in Manchester?
Dual residency like JP?

Iā€™ve been called before a jury.

Iā€™ve no idea tbh. Presume so.
Especially given my Galway home which ā€œI guarantee weā€™ll start the last week of Augustā€ is still a (now wet and muddy) field.

What the story with this craic?
One of my brothers was on remand fir a membership charge etc etc about 16 years ago
Got a jury notice letter today :roll_eyes::blush::blush::blush:

Told him youā€™re in the system now kid,
Only the good buyers get that call,ā€™
Heā€™s like a loonšŸ˜

Just tell him to wear the ā€˜Sasanach Amach, SĆ­ochĆ”in Isteachā€™ t-shirt and he should be ok.

Has to be a mistake
Or else theyā€™re trying to recruit himšŸ™€

If he was in the ra back in the day, odds are heā€™s already been well recruited.

It all depended on which Raā€‹:blush::ireland:
Definitely wasnā€™t provisional
Anyway heā€™s now obviously an upstanding member of Leoā€™s society
Conform Rd is his address

Just called up, first time for me. Was planning a work trip the same week but wouldnā€™t mind getting it out of the way. Reckon if I postpone Iā€™ll be plagued after that.

Employer can send in a letter saying your presence is required at work

This one in work with me got called in relation to a hit and run in Cork. He was convicted yesterday. Getting harder to excuse yourself from jury duty.

Do your duty lads.

I did a 6 week stint before Christmas - was supposed to be max 3. The jury stewards said thereā€™s not massive follow up if you donā€™t show. Loads of people excused themselves with the judge with work commitments, that they knew one of the parties/solicitors in the case or had a similar experience of the crime.
The lunch is decent though. You can also claim a daily rate back on some home insurance policies.
