Should the Garda no be investigating attempted fraud? There needs to be consequences for attempting to extort money fraudulently.

For balance, its the legal profession that also encourages this kind of fraud. They make a pretty penny out of it

Isn't social media great 😁 Bad example from Bailey and Farrell.

sure, maybe he was jumping for joy and lost the head a bit

And if there was no video, €60k on the steps. Stop the rot and raise the bar for fraudulent claims. Where has the serious offence of perjury gone?

Why was this not picked up before it wasted the court's time

Job done

simon_lorne they get caught after all fake claim 😬

The Gardai to b informed of this claim ?

Can they not be charged with fraud.

Youth has remarkable powers of recuperation. Impressive.
