Bit of a stink around him though. Didn't he have to resign at a time nobody resigned?

Philip Sheedy affair IIRC?

He was kind of hard done by though. He asked the registrar to expedite scheduling an appeal, at the behest of his neighbour. This was deemed  "open to misinterpretation". However, the appeal was arranged before the wrong judge and that was seriously dodgy and created a major issue and O'Flaherty went down with the cross currents generated.

I can't recall the detail, but there was significantly more to it than that.

Was it not that it became apparent that him and another judge were heavily involved in the background and there was enough of a smell about it that their positions became untenable?

Bertie was involved, Sheedy worked for one of the Drumcondra Mafia.

While he clearly took the fall, and they tried to give him a big European job, he was far from innocent

And what exactly is a supreme Court judge doing contacting the registrar to move an appeal hearing in the first place? It was moved and somehow ended up in front of the wrong judge, the DPP and Gardai weren't told about the hearing and only came to light when the junior civil servant who physically brought the file to court was asked by his superior to explain where he was all morning. 

It was peak Bertie era FF corruption- a connected fella getting literally bust out of prison.

Very sad news. RIP James.

Tragic news. Far too young. Hopefully his wife makes it.

Legend of Donegal GAA and vital member of the team that brought our first All Ireland.

His son Eoin was back on the county panel this year too.
