Judge’s last day in High Court
Mr Justice Barry White sat in the Central Criminal Court for the final time yesterday. By the time the case over which he was presiding had finished, a large number of well-wishers, including his family, had arrived in the courtroom in Dublin’s Criminal Courts of Justice.
Patrick Gageby SC said he had been given the singular honour by his colleagues at the bar of expressing their sorrow at losing an extremely eminent judge. He said he knew it was not the judge’s desire to have any pomp but that he wished to mark the significant date.
