VLPS meeting: Granville Hotel, Waterford on 10 January 2007 at 8 p.m. sharp

A meeting will be held in the Granville Hotel, Waterford on Wednesday the 10th of January to deal with the conduct of the Judiciary and related legal matters. This meeting is the first in a series to be held throughout the country in the lead up to the next General Election. Many other events, protests and pickets are also scheduled for the early months of this year.

There is a growing concern throughout the 26 counties with the behaviour of Judges, Barristers and Solicitors. Many clients who have entrusted these people with their private affairs have been badly let down. People have at least the right to expect that their business is conducted confidentially, professionally and in the client's best interest. Unfortunately, the opposite is often the case.

They experience delay, obfuscation, indifference and downright bad manners. Many are left with the distinct impression that their solicitor is working for the other side.

The meeting in the Granville will address the Law Society and its handling of complaints. Supposedly a regulatory authority to look after the public interest, it is increasingly perceived to be protecting the legal profession. To many, the Law Society is working hand in glove with the denizens of Blackhall Place. A cartel working to protect the wealth, privilege and opportunism of a section of society that has sadly lost its way.

Too many wills disappear, or are changed with legal connivance. Property transactions, inheritance issues accordingly are causing grave concerns to people who have lost all confidence in the legal and judicial system.

These and other issues relating to the recent attempt to close down a website will be highlighted at the Waterford meeting. And such is the interest that people from the 26 counties are expected to attend.

The meeting commences at 8 p.m. sharp, and all interested in the future are invited to attend.

Forum for Discussion:

That those pledged to protect the rights of the individual are undermining the very democratic system that is fundamental to all rights.
