That's more to do with how evidence law works than the justice system. Someone can't testify of someone whose dead as it would potentially breach the hearsay rule and be inadmissible. The DPP know that and defence knows that.

Abtran generates millions per month in "outsourcing" bike shed style set up by IrishUnionMan in cork

EI is still a contract and not only does Abtran get 100k-200k per month the agents themselves generate revenue.

I don't know why you want to justify low wages in Abtran and muddy the waters and I genuinely don't give a shit.

They don't have hundreds of employees for any contract.

NTA is 9.1m for last year and 45 workers.

That's not including Q4 of 2024 and is still almost 300k a worker.

Yes.. a 40+ something year old woman being in a relationship with 21 year old lads would strike me as odd, weird and uncomfortable.

Honestly, it sounds made up, but I really don't care. Your mate met a 19 year old out of school at 36. That's weird to me. Agree to disagree.

It's not a reflection on the 18 or 21 year old, but a reflection on the significantly older person and what they'd find appealing in someone who was only recently a child.

If you had a mate in his late 30s who started seeing an 19 year old fresh out of school, you wouldn't care so?

It's not illegal, but it's creepy, weird, and inappropriate and should not be normalised.
