Long before her retirement, Judge Gillian Hussey was conferred with the prestigious status of "legend of the bench." This captivating book offers a profound exploration into the intricate demands and delicate balances that graced her daily existence. It is a captivating and enlightening read that will captivate readers until the very end.
John Lonergan, an author and former Governor of Mountjoy Prison, has penned this remarkable account. When Gillian Hussey embarked on her journey in Bridewell District Court in 1984, little did she foresee that she would encounter some of Ireland's most notorious criminals, including the Kinahans, the Cahills, 'The Monk,' and John Gilligan.
As one of Ireland's pioneering female judges, Gillian navigated a realm predominantly dominated by men. Undeterred by societal conventions, she ventured beyond the confines of the courtroom, always seeking to comprehend the multifaceted individuals—not merely the criminals—who stood before her in the dock. Through her dedicated service, Gillian embarked on a lifelong quest to unravel the intricacies of human nature, society, and her own self.
This captivating insight into the remarkable career of a trailblazing woman unveils the inner workings of Ireland's criminal courts, delves into the transformative shifts in Irish society, and shares invaluable lessons gleaned from nearly two decades of service on the bench.
