Struck Down: Duggan’s Bail Battle | Cork News
Description
A man named Don Duggan, 38, is stuck in jail without a lawyer after being denied bail twice—once in Cork District Court and again in the High Court—for three May burglaries in Mayfield and Montenotte. Appearing via video link from prison, Duggan called the situation “disgraceful,” slamming the system for violating his constitutional rights while he’s held without legal representation. The root of the problem? A solicitors’ strike crippling the courts, leaving defendants like Duggan—and many others—caught in a legal limbo. Judge David Waters remanded him back to custody, with his next court date set for August 5th, during the holiday period. As more defendants face similar fates, the strike’s toll on justice and individual rights is becoming impossible to ignore.
