John Finucane knocking out £161k in earnings outside being an MP.  There mustn't be enough hours in the day for that fella.

Great to see. Because for a long time Sinn Fein said being rich was a crime.

Should be said, that's over 3 years not 1. It was January 2020 to December 2022. So 54k a year.

I presume he doesn't get an MP salary being an Abstentionist?

Correct.

Wonder does he take the average industrial wage from his own job and donate the rest to the party?

When you look at the detail this was over a 2 year period and not p.a. At the end of the day he owns a business and is entitled to share in the profits in exchange for hours worked. He receives no income from being an MP.

he represented Daniel Kinahan in that time. Some of that £161k will have come from one of the worlds most wanted men.

Pretty sure that is the essence of the legal system, everyone is entitled to representation.

In fairness I'm not sure that was a legal aid type case, next barrister/solicitor up & you take the case. I'm guessing Kinahan approached Finucanes firm & they accepted instructions, he could have refused & you would have thought it would have made sense to from a PR perspective (never mind from an ethics standpoint), especially with Finucanes profile as a politician.

I suppose he knew Kinahan would be able to afford it

Turning down work along ethical lines is all well and good, but where do you draw the line?
