E35 The Fifth Court

Michael O'Higgins SC, probably the best known barrister in the country asks 'But is it justice..?'

Presented by Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL


An incredible story covering Michael's time as a journalist with Hot Press and Magill magazines. Being told by Magill publisher Vincent Browne that he 'didn't want any writing' and 'Read the Daily Telegraph'.

His interview with an up and coming Bertie Ahern. Asking Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness did he use Durex ('not while in Portlaois Prison). Martin Cahill aka The General, spending days in Michael's Harold Cross bedsit. Working night shifts in RTE to make an alternative to a legal career as unattractive as possible. And much, much more. Brilliant.

His movie choice 'Justice for All' (Al Pacino)

His book choice, Dominic Carman's book on his dad, George Carman QC. (Dominic was a guest on E27, The Fifth Court)


Plus three cases from the Decisis.ie casebook including;

  • A personal injuries case against a hotel, where the ruling was that the architects to the hotel were joined to the case too late.
  • A European arrest warrant case where a Polish national pleaded he wasn't informed about the case as he couldn't access the address he supplied for correspondence
  • A Landlord and Tenant case involving the Residential Tenancies Board and the refusal by the landlord to accept a HAP payment
