Different set of rules for ordinary people

WHEN under investigation by the gardaí, people like Sean Fitzpatrick are treated differently.

Do you think an ordinary Joe Soap would be arrested by appointment? A poor person would be dragged out of their beds at an unearthly hour whilst the Fitzpatricks of this country are treated with complete consideration.

Of course, let’s face it, this is just more optics. In Ireland, will any of those responsible for the collapse of our banking system and the dire consequences we are now experiencing be made accountable? The answer is no, for here it seems, you need have no fear of the law if you have money and the right political connections.
