Leading criminal defence solicitor, Cahir O'Higgins, accused of theft and other offences

[@Paul5520]

Very short sighted solicitor or ex solicitor as the case may be. He probably shouldn’t be a solicitor let’s be honest.

[@larrykavanagh5197]

Solicitors usually require money up front when providing legal representation in criminal cases as otherwise their prospect of being paid could be diminished. I suspect that the €400 was the fee agreed with the client or at least that will be the solicitor's version of events.

Was he not on free legal aid?

[@HH-hd3gs]

​@@PB111627 The other firm of solicitors applied.

[@larrykavanagh5197]

@PB111627 D'Arcy Horan Solrs., we're originally appointed to provide legal aid but they later transferred to case to O'Higgins. I don't know whether or not O'Higgins was a participant in the legal aid scheme.

The worst crime a solicitor can commit is to get caught . As for the crime itself well its just what people in certain circles do . That said the Spaniard sounds like a bit of a chancer.

Is there such a thing as an honest solicitor

[@garethdonohoe110380]

Did i hear correct €200 fine for trying to set fire to a nightclub ??and a strike out if paid ..the judge should be charged with a crime ffs. That said its commom practice to use cash for solicitors services especially in urgent moments like that . unfortunately mr sans didnt like the fee...shame

I think the guards don’t like him!! I know of a case where an individual robbed about 40k from the company. Never went anywhere.. interview was had at the Garda station - brushed under the carpet.. never heard anything about it. The case never brought to the DPP. Something fishy going on here with Cahir

[@PB111627]

So your man tried to burn down a night club? How evil is that? Higgins should have told the Garda well I’m taking €600 owes me 400 and 200 for Poor Box. The saga would never have kicked off. What I want to know is why you only have to pay €200 for trying to burn down a nightclub. O’Higgins was in a hole and he kept on digging, digging.

Money! Truly the source of all evil, some. People will never have enough, I feel sorry for that solicitor, his future is destroyed ✝️🇮🇪🕊☘️🙏

[@danwebb4418]

Money the root of all evil..This case is white collar, so no penalty...

[@Barnagh1]

It ain’t over…

[@mikekelly5869]

Would a successful solicitor put his career in jeopardy for €400? This doesn't make sense. There is something strange going on here.

[@Paul5520]

You wouldn’t believe the power of Greed.

[@KingsleyGallagher]

It's just very sad, money again,,,,
