Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland's justice system is in moral crisis. Rampant nepotism, cronyism and other forms of corruption have ensured that many who inhabit the corridors of power are getting away with serious and repeated wrongdoing with apparent impunity. It remains an open secret here in Ireland that if the perpetrators of crime are in any way 'connected' or in the pay of the State, that our justice system is far more likely to throw up a wall of protection and denials around them - than to expose and prosecute them. This is where this little book comes in. This book details a free and simple legal process whereby you or I can take immediate and effective action against any other person who commits a crime against us. And if that other person happens to be a Garda, a lawyer, an 'Officer of the Court' or a Government Minister - well, all the more reason perhaps to take firm and immediate action - right? This latest Integrity Ireland publication focuses on the little-known but long-established Common Informer legislation and how the ordinary citizen can prosecute others without having to rely on the Gardai or the Office of the DPP. YOU can prosecute ANYONE as long as you have proof of a criminal offence. You do NOT need to go to the Gardai. You do NOT need a solicitor or a barrister. And best of all, the process is free! This book explains all you need to know, including a breakdown of recent Supreme Court rulings and a step-by-step explanation of the process, as well as all those things you need to watch out for as 'they' do their utmost to deny us justice. This little book - and the process it explains - could well prove to be the proverbial 'Achilles heel' of a very unjust, justice system."
