Only 6 years for killing innocent man by ramming with car then trying to burn evidence
6 years for tax evasion on import of garlic.
We don’t have a Minister for Justice.

Unfortunately, in these days of austerity and reduced Garda numbers, burglary is one of the few growth industries. If only we had a minister responsible for law and order….

Its a tough one for the cops id say, on one hand they caught some scumbag junkie breaking into a house and on the other hand its the house of the man who is single handedly ripping the police force apart and letting cop killers stay in hotels. You gotta wonder if they thought of just letting him go, i think i would.

Well at least one government minister now knows what its like to be robbed…

Some people will go to any lengths to get their hands on the elusive household tax leaflet…

Maureen’s use of ‘lol’ is suggestive of a deeper underlying madness.

You can be damn sure the thief will get a long sentence with no suspensions either

Just a little bit ironic…

Australia, our minister for justice is in Australia for st paddies weekend. Why? Generate business, tell our immigrants over there we are thinking of them

I’m always suspicious when I hear of government officials homes being broken into. It could just be a coincide but the Justice Minister as well. I assume he’d get pretty confidential briefings about things.

Thanks for ur warning……if I want a holiday, I wouldn’t tell anyone except my family!

Apparently a substantial amount of German Bunds have been reported stolen and three advisors have been unaccounted for.

I lived close to a former minister of justice who was in office at the time.
That minister had TWO armed gardai/drivers living in a chalet at the back of her house 24/7.
This was probably 15 years ago but still I cant see why it’d change, especially for a minister for justice.

The ” burglars” name coincidently is Robin Hood!

Honestly who cares???????????? By the sounds of it the bloke tried the door, alarm rang and he ran off!!! Not a burglary…….

Breaking into the justice ministers house and getting caught, someone’s gonna get f**ked by the long d**k of the law anyway!!

I just can not leave a comment that wont sound annoyed . I am not glad he was burgled , and I am glad they caught the burglar . On the other hand I am glad he was burgled and I am sorry that the burglar was caught . But I do know that the Gardai would be under considerable pressure to catch the burglar … I do believe the Gardai are under cosiderable pressure to do their jobs effectively anyway.

I wonder how the courts will deal with this . I remember years ago a particular judge had their car stolen and for ever after car thieves were dealt with as severely as their jurisdiction would allow. :) The judge is now retired .

Then we have the recent judgements on a garda killer and a tax evader …… Also I am just wondering who got the short straw and had to tell the Minister the news …. :)

Glad they caught him, speaking from experience having your home broken into is a horrible experience. The home is violated… However when I reported a break in at my home the Gards called up the following day & was so disinterested it was unbelievable. Suppose it’s not what you know…

Of all the houses in the State and he picks that home of the Minister for Justice, guarded 24/7 by heavily armed Gardai!

Haha, legend.

Matt, if you are one of the elite classes, yuo can be damn sure that the Gardai would be around very quickly. We live in a two tier society. Its getting more obvious by the day.

How quik they caught him if it was an ordinary joe soaps house he would be waiting for the guards yet

wow ,lol,

Well the rest of the criminals in the country now know which house is his thanks to the press photographers

It’s funny how they seem to catch these burglars so quick!!!! Wankers!

yes and that is where the house hold tax will be going lol.
