Ireland is in a mess, and a great many ordinary people are suffering because of the prevailing culture of corruption, cronyism and criminality in Departments of the State. Perhaps nowhere is this crisis more evident than in the so-called Irish Justice System comprising the legal profession, the Garda Siochana (police) and the Irish Courts. This Guide has been produced as a basic manual for those who have found themselves subject to improper, illegal or unconstitutional activities. It offers suggestions as to how to defend yourself from abuses of power and position, and how to hold errant authority figures to account in real and direct ways. Divided into 10 sections, subjects such as the law, the constitution, the legal profession and the Courts are interspersed with practical advice and commentary from a wide range of professional and official sources. A full dictionary of legal terms is also included, as well as a variety of forms and templates which are ready-to-use in A4 size. Advocating a philosophy of ’direct action’ this manual will give you the basic tools you need to defend your fundamental rights in the face of systemic corruption, cronyism and criminal cover-ups by agents of the State. Integrity Ireland is a citizens-driven network and support group set up to tackle corruption and malfeasance in this State, particularly within the legal profession and law enforcement - and their respective oversight bodies; the Law Society, the Garda Ombudsman and the Courts.’One by one - together - we CAN make a difference!’ 3
