Criminal Defence Law is a critical aspect of the legal system that ensures individuals facing criminal charges receive fair representation and protection of their rights. In Ireland, engaging a skilled criminal defence solicitor is crucial for navigating the complexities of the legal process and safeguarding one's interests.
Green & Associates Solicitors, with offices in Cork and Kerry, provides comprehensive and client-centred criminal defence services.
Criminal defence law protects the rights of individuals accused of crimes. It ensures a fair trial process and helps achieve the best possible outcome for your case. The court system in Ireland operates under two main categories:
● District Court handles less severe offences with a maximum sentence of 12 months imprisonment, such as assault, theft, and public order felonies.
● Circuit Court deals with more serious crimes, including assault causing serious harm, severe white-collar crimes, and certain drug cases.
● The Special Criminal Courtmanages terrorism and other specific illegal acts.
A criminal defence solicitor with experience in the Irish courts possesses the expertise to navigate the legal intricacies of your case. They will:
● Advise you of your rights: when facing criminal charges, you have the right to remain silent and to legal representation. Your solicitor ensures you understand these rights and how to exercise them effectively during any interaction with the Garda Síochána.
● Build a strong defence: criminal defence lawyersanalyse the evidence collected by the Garda, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and develop a robust defence strategy tailored to your specific situation.
● Represent you in court: an experienced criminal defence solicitor in Cork presents your case persuasively before a judge or jury.
● Negotiate on your behalf: defence attorneys can negotiate with the prosecutionto potentially reduce charges or seek alternative sentencing options.
These legal professionals specialise in defending individuals accused of crimes, providing expert guidance, and ensuring the accused receive a fair trial.
Hiring a seasoned criminal defence solicitor increases the likelihood of a favourable outcome protecting one's rights throughout the proceedings.
Criminal defence lawyers in Cork & Kerry play a crucial role in the criminal process. They are well-versed in the local legal landscape and bring a wealth of experience.

The process often begins with an interaction with the Garda Síochána. The Garda will take your details and gather information about the alleged incident. It's important to immediately exercise your right to remain silent and have legal representation.
The Gardaí may detain you for questioning for up to 24 hours, subject to extensions in specific circumstances.
Following questioning, the Gardaí will decide whether to release you, issue a summons for a court appearance, or charge you with an offence
For serious crimes, the DPP becomes involved. This independent body reviews the case and decides whether to charge you with a crime and what those charges will be.
Your case will proceed through the Irish court system if charges are pursued. The appropriate court will depend on the severity of the alleged felony.
This stage involves the disclosure of evidence by both the prosecution and the criminal defence team.
The criminal defence attorneys at Green & Associates will gather evidence, build your defence, and potentially negotiate with the prosecution for a plea bargain or alternative sentencing options
If a plea bargain is not reached, your case will go to trial in the appropriate court.
Your criminal defence solicitor in Cork, Kerry, Dublin, and nationwide will represent you in court, presenting evidence and arguments on your behalf.
If you are the victim of a crime, you have the right to submit a victim impact statement before sentencing. This statement allows you to explain how the crime has affected you. Our solicitors can guide you through this process, if applicable.
If found guilty, the judge will determine an appropriate sentence based on the crime, your background, and relevant sentencing guidelines in Ireland.
The outcome of your case will determine the next steps. If found guilty, sentencing options may include:
● Custody in a prison, the Central Mental Hospital (for adults), or the Oberstown Children Detention Campus (for juveniles)
Our legal team at Dylan Green & Associates solicitors can advise you on potential appeals processes if necessary.

Most people in Ireland who come into contact with the Gardai and the criminal justice system do so through prosecutions under road traffic legislation. At Green & Associates, we understand the importance of expert advice and representation to our clients when faced with a road traffic offence. Our experienced Road Traffic Department deals with various prosecutions against road users. Road traffic matters that may appear simple can be complex, and our experts will help you understand your legal position and ensure that the courts deal with you favourably. We are experts in dealing with all manner of road traffic issues, including:
Whether you are accused of impaired driving (ranging from failing to stop, careless driving to dangerous driving) or alcohol and drugs related offences (such as driving whilst unfit, driving with excess alcohol, or failing to supply a specimen for analysis), our lawyers can make the difference between you losing or keeping your driving licence. There are a variety of road traffic offences that one could commit, ranging from not having a valid NCT to causing death as a result of dangerous driving. https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41175457.html
If you have been arrested on suspicion of a crime, you must engage an experienced criminal defence solicitor as soon as possible. Serious offences may include the sale and supply of drugs, murder or attempted murder, manslaughter, assault, sexual offences, fraud, cases of robbery including aggravated burglary, possession of firearms or offensive weapons, blackmail, extortion, kidnapping, and threats to kill. Serious crimes require specialist expertise, not least because they often involve large amounts of evidence and paperwork but because they also often raise complicated law issues. Our experience, legal knowledge, technical know-how and resource capabilities mean we are well-equipped to deal with the most demanding and challenging cases. https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/two-men-charged-with-cork-murder-1489139.html
If you are asked to attend a Garda station it is vital that you obtain legal advice before deciding how best to deal with the request. You have rights, entitlements and obligations on such situations and you must know as much as possible in advance. Please call us for a consultation and we will be happy to advise you. Green & Associates have a wealth of experience in Criminal law and can advise you on all aspects of Garda station attendance.If instead, you are arrested and brought to a Garda station, please ask the Gardai to call us as soon as you arrive at the station. Again, it is extremely important that you have full legal advice in advance of any interview that may take place.
Drug offences are often treated extremely seriously in Ireland. Unfortunately, a conviction for even the most minor drug possession offence can have career-ending consequences. At Green & Associates Solicitors, we have extensive experience in defending individuals accused of drug-related crimes, including the possession of drugs, possession with intent to distribute and the importation of medications.
Drug Offences
Intoxication (being drunk) in a public place
Section 4 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 deals with the offence of being intoxicated (that is, drunk) in a public place. While the maximum fine for being intoxicated in a public place in Ireland is a class E fine, the section gives the Gardai the power to seize the intoxicating substance (normally, the alcohol) where they suspect that an offence of being intoxicated in a public place is being committed.
Section 6 of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 makes it an offence for any person in a public place to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of causing a breach of the peace. A typical example of this would be when a person, by their words or actions, was likely to cause a fight with the person or persons they insulted. It would also cover the situation where groups of youths were looking for trouble through their threatening behaviour towards other people. Again, the Garda may confiscate alcohol.
Any person found guilty of this offence can be liable to a class D fine and a prison sentence of 3 months maximum.
This offence is concerned with what is described as “offensive conduct”.
Section 5(i) of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act 1994 makes it an offence for anyone in a public place to engage in offensive conduct:
Offensive conduct is unreasonable behaviour which (having regard to the circumstances) is likely to cause serious offence or serious annoyance to other people. The penalty for this offence is a class D fine.
The purpose of this offence was to deal with the types of disorderly behaviour which fall short of threatening behaviour but could adversely affect the quality of people’s lives. A typical example of this offence would be people shouting late at night, having left nightclubs where this would cause serious annoyance to residents.
Section 23A has been inserted in the Act by Section 184 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 and allows the Gardai to impose a fixed charge fine for disorderly conduct in a public place instead of court proceedings for this offence. To have the crime treated as a fixed charge offence, you must give your name and address to the Garda. Failure to do so means you may be arrested without a warrant and be convicted of a summary offence for which the maximum penalty is a class C fine.
If the Gardai choose to have this offence treated as a fixed-charge offence, they may serve notice on you that you will not be charged if a stated amount is paid within 28 days. The amount of the fixed charge, currently €140, is set by Regulations.
Distribution or display in a public place of material which is threatening, abusive, insulting or obscene
7.—(1) It shall be an offence for any person in a public place to distribute or display any writing, sign or visible representation which is threatening, abusive, insulting or obscene with intent to provoke a breach of the peace or being reckless as to whether a violation of the peace may be occasioned.
(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £500 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or both.
S11 Wilful obstruction
9.—Any person who, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse, wilfully prevents or interrupts the free passage of any person or vehicle in any public place shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £200.
Entering the building, etc., with intent to commit an offence
to enter any building or the curtilage of any building or any part of such building or curtilage as a trespasser, or
(b) to be within the vicinity of any such building or curtilage or part of such building or curtilage to trespass thereon,
in the circumstances giving rise to the reasonable inference that such entry or presence was with the intent to commit an offence or unlawfully interfere with any property situated therein.
(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £1,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or both.
S13 Trespass on building
It shall be an offence for a person, without reasonable excuse, to trespass on any building or the curtilage thereof in such a manner as causes or is likely to cause fear in another person.
S14 Riot
12 or more persons who are present together at any place (whether that place is a public place or a private place or both) use or threaten to use unlawful violence for a common purpose, and
(b) the conduct of those persons, taken together, is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at that place to fear for his or another person's safety,
S15 Violent disorder
three or more persons who are present together at any place (whether that place is a public place or a private place, or both) use or threaten to use unlawful violence, and
(b) the conduct of those persons, taken together, is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at that place to fear for his or another person's safety,
Il cliente ha il diritto di essere rappresentato da un avvocato nel caso venga accusato di
un reato penale in Irlanda. È essenziale rivolgersi a un avvocato o a un barrister
qualificato specializzato in diritto penale. Questi valuterà il caso del cliente,
consigliandolo e rappresentandolo durante l'intero procedimento legale.
Presunzione d’innocenza
Nel diritto penale irlandese l’imputato è dato per innocente fino a prova contraria.
L’onere della prova spetta all’accusa, la quale deve dimostrare oltre ogni ragionevole
dubbio che il cliente ha commesso il presunto reato. L’avvocato difensore si impegnerà
a contestare le prove dell’accusa e a mettere in dubbio la colpevolezza del cliente.
Analisi delle leggi in merito alla criminalità in Irlanda:
sfide attuali e prospettive future
Abstract
Il presente articolo è volto all’analisi delle leggi legate alla criminalità in Irlanda,
concentrandosi sulla loro efficacia, sulle sfide e sulle potenziali aree di miglioramento.
Il quadro giuridico che disciplina la criminalità svolge un ruolo fondamentale nel
mantenere l’ordine pubblico, proteggere i cittadini e garantire la giustizia. Esaminando
le leggi sulla criminalità esistenti in Irlanda, questo articolo mira a far luce sui loro
punti di forza e di debolezza, oltre a proporre prospettive future per migliorare il
sistema di giustizia penale.
Introduzione
Come qualsiasi altro paese, anche l’Irlanda deve affrontare numerose sfide per
mantenere la sicurezza pubblica e combattere il crimine. Leggi efficaci sono essenziali
per scoraggiare comportamenti illegali, assicurare processi equi e garantire una pena
adeguata ai colpevoli. Il presente articolo analizza in maniera critica le leggi sulla
criminalità in Irlanda, con particolare attenzione alla loro efficacia, alle sfide da
affrontare e alle potenziali aree di miglioramento.
1. Panoramica sulla legislazione in materia di criminalità in Irlanda
Questa sezione fornisce una panoramica del quadro giuridico esistente che regola la
criminalità in Irlanda. Esamina quindi la legislazione primaria, come il Criminal
Justice Act 2006, l’Offences Against the Person Act 1861 e il Misuse of Drugs Act
1977. Inoltre, evidenzia il ruolo dei principi di Common law e della Costituzione
irlandese nella definizione delle leggi sulla criminalità.
2. Efficacia delle leggi sulla criminalità
Questa sezione valuta l’efficacia delle leggi sulla criminalità in Irlanda e il
raggiungimento degli obiettivi prefissati. Analizza i tassi di criminalità, le condanne e
la percezione della sicurezza da parte dell’opinione pubblica, al fine di verificare
l’impatto delle leggi esistenti. Inoltre, esamina il ruolo delle forze dell’ordine, quali la
Garda Síochána, nel far rispettare e applicare le leggi sulla criminalità.
Законное представительство
Вы имеете право быть представленным адвокатом в случае, если вам
предъявлено обвинение в совершении уголовного преступления в Ирландии.
Необходимо воспользоваться услугами квалифицированного адвоката или
барристера, специализирующегося на уголовном праве. Он оценит дело клиента,
проконсультирует и будет представлять его на протяжении всего судебного
разбирательства.
Презумпция невиновности
В ирландском уголовном праве обвиняемый считается невиновным до тех пор,
пока его вина не будет доказана. Бремя доказывания лежит на стороне
обвинения, которое должно доказать вне всяких разумных сомнений, что клиент
совершил предполагаемое преступление. Адвокат защиты постарается оспорить
доказательства обвинения и поставить под сомнение вину клиента.
