Are solicitors only breaking their own legal aid strike in the District courts for non-Irish defendants? Today, Emund Burke ("Eddie Burke") is representing two Germans - David Hocks (49) & Anna Edel (44) - accused of smuggling two Albanian men in the back of their campervan on the ferry from France to Cork in return for €6,000 from a people trafficker based in Dublin (who hasn't been arrested for some reason).
Maybe Edmund is being paid privately.
