Ever selected for Jury Service?

bump

Went to jury service today. surprise surprise 2 out of 3 of the cases that were described before us by the prosecution were involving travellers.  i wasen't selected in the 3 juries for each of those cases so have to come back next week .i wouldnt mind as its interesting to see how it all works but I only got a temping admin job last week in Galway and i ve to ask them again for time off to go back to this. Im just wondering as its the recruitment agency paying me and not my employer, will they pay me for Jury duty? I feel bad asking them when Ive just got my foot in the door.

btw one of the cases is involving a traveller mother,father and daughter and the daughter is an absolute screw despite the unattractive onion ring style jewellery on her ears.Sorry lads cant do much about geting pics as Im not going to be on the Jury in her case but honestly she is a stunner.

Only codding ya

I got out of mine in Belfast by saying that I'd seen some people I recognised talking to their lawyers. It wouldn't be my cup of tea deciding someone's fate.

2 out of 3

Well, if it is the High Court (and not the Central Criminal Court) it will only be for defamation cases (more or less) or else possibly Garda compensation (for lads injured in the line of duty). I think those are about the only High Court jury cases.

Some publican from Roscommon has brought a local farmer to court because in 2003 the farmer said that the publicans nephew wanted them all dead so he could take his money .

There was nearly 70 people selected - about 20 didn't show up and 8 people got selected.

You'll be called into a big room in the four courts and given a number. You will watch the beginning of the trial (the charge etc) from CCTV. If your name is called out you go to the court room. The defence and prosecution can object to a certain number of people.  If they object I think you are free to go.
