Reporter, Sheila Naughton is in Dún Laoghaire, south Dublin where the atmosphere is a little more Mediterranean than Irish this morning.

In Part 2 of our extended interview with retired Supreme Court judge Mr Justice Peter Charleton, Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL continue a remarkable conversation about life at the Bar, life on the Bench, and life after the Supreme Court.Peter Charleton speaks about the reality of appearing in high-profile criminal cases, the discipline of addressing juries, why a good advocate must be able to hold attention, and why, in court, “your job is basically to stay on the horse”.He discusses the emotional weight of criminal work, the dangers of lawyers mistaking themselves for victims, the Morris Tribunal, the call to the High Court, the pressure of judgment writing, and the move from sitting alone in the High Court to deciding cases with colleagues in the Supreme Court.There is also a fascinating discussion on the length of modern judgments, why digital searches are different from physical searches, how Supreme Court judges deal with disagreement, and whether advocacy still matters in an age of written submissions.And, in a lovely final turn, Peter Charleton reflects on retirement, family, music, film, War and Peace, Clint Eastwood, and why music, in his view, is a higher form of reasoning than law.Before the interview, Mark and Peter discuss three recent cases from the Decisis.ie casebook, with thanks to the sponsor of the Decisis casebook discussion, Charltons Solicitors and Collaborative Practitioners of George's Street, Dún Laoghaire, who specialise in family law, civil litigation, property, wills and probate.LSRA v O'BrienA solicitor was prohibited from practising in his own right for 10 years following serious misconduct and repeated non-compliance with undertakings. The High Court stressed that its role in reviewing LSRA determinations is not a rubber-stamping exercise.LSRA v SalabiAn overseas lawyer seeking to practise in Ireland could not rely on Belgian professional indemnity cover. The court held that the foreign cover did not meet the Irish regulatory requirements.Foreign Births Register citizenship challengeA challenge to the requirement that foreign-born children be registered on the Foreign Births Register before acquiring Irish citizenship was rejected, with the court finding no particular injustice in the requirement.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Part 2 preview00:48 Decisis casebook discussion, sponsored by Charltons Solicitors and Collaborative Practitioners03:49 Peter Charleton interview resumes04:31 High-profile criminal cases and staying on the horse05:15 Addressing juries and holding attention07:13 Worrying about cases and professional regret08:08 Criminal work, vicarious trauma and perspective09:03 The Morris Tribunal and Donegal10:37 The call to the High Court11:43 Why judging was not easier than being a barrister13:48 How to write a judgment15:46 Are modern judgments too long?18:07 Digital searches and privacy19:52 Moving from the High Court to the Supreme Court20:22 Keeping an open mind on appeal21:30 Overturning colleagues and why it is not personal23:45 Irish courts, US courts and the politics of judging26:26 Is great advocacy dead?28:38 Retirement from the Supreme Court30:41 Life after the Bench31:22 Music, law and philosophy32:47 Film and book recommendations34:45 Closing thanks Hosted on Acast.

The Fifth Court marks Episode 150 with Part 1 of a wide-ranging conversation with recently retired Supreme Court judge, Peter Charleton.To mark Episode 150 of The Fifth Court, Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL are joined by Mr Justice Peter Charleton, recently retired from the Supreme Court.In Part 1 of this extended interview, he reflects on republicanism and nationalism, growing up near Seán Lemass and Theodore Kingsmill Moore, music, Trinity, the King's Inns, devilling with Peter Sutherland, early years at the Bar, criminal law, defending accused persons, and the deeper questions of crime, morality and human nature.It is a thoughtful, personal and sometimes unexpectedly funny conversation with one of Ireland's best-known jurists.Before the interview, Mark and Peter discuss three recent cases from the Decisis.ie casebook.The Decisis.ie case-law section is sponsored by Charlton Solicitors and Collaborative Practitioners of Dún Laoghaire.Case 1: The High Court quashed a District Court judge's refusal to convict in speed-limit cases, holding that judges must apply the law rather than substitute their own views on whether limits are fair.Case 2: In DPP v O'Hara, the Court of Appeal upheld a murder and burglary conviction, rejecting challenges to DNA and search-warrant evidence.Case 3: In a Hague Convention child-abduction case, the court refused to return a child to New Zealand because of concerns about the mother's depression and risk of relapse.This is Part 1 of a two-part interview. Part II will be posted next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The latest research by Switcher.ie has revealed the most affordable places for first-time buyers in Ireland. Our First Time Buyer Affordability Index 2026 shows the least and most attainable areas for joint buyers and sole buyers based on how long it would take to save for a deposit in each region. For housebuyers starting to save this year, our calculations estimate that gathering a deposit could take longer than in previous years. This is due to people saving less and property price rises of typically around 7% throughout 2025, although projections will change year on year due to market and seasonal fluctuations. The average time it takes for a couple to save for a mortgage deposit in Ireland is 7 years 2 months, up from 4 years 7 months last year. Cork, Galway and Meath first-time buyers see deposit saving times almost double. Longford is the most affordable place for first-time buyers, taking 2 years, 3 months to save for a deposit – up from one year, 7 months in 2025. Dún Laoghaire is the least affordable place and could take up to 21 years, 3 months to raise a down payment, which is similar to last year. Roscommon is most affordable for sole buyers. Saving for a deposit takes 3 years, 5 months. Whereas in Dún Laoghaire it could take a staggering 66 years, 5 months. Longford, Leitrim, Donegal, Roscommon, Mayo, Cavan, Clare, Limerick City, Offaly and Monaghan are the 10 most affordable regions. Dún Laoghaire, South Dublin, Galway City, Louth, Wicklow, Fingal, Dublin City, Meath, Kildare, and Cork County are the 10 least affordable places. 65% of Ireland's new builds were completed in the 10 most expensive regions during 2025, while the cheapest 10 areas only attracted 11% of new dwellings. This disadvantages first-time buyers who need to use Help to Buy schemes. Find out how your region ranks and see the full Index at Ireland's most affordable places for first time buyers. * Deposit saving calculations are based on median annual earnings, median property prices and household savings rates from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). For Joint Buyers Top 5 most affordable places for joint buyers Longford was the most affordable place for joint first-time buyers for the third year running. One of the cheapest places to buy a house, it would take just 2.3 years to save the minimum 10% deposit. Leitrim, Donegal, Mayo, and Roscommon joined Longford in the top five most affordable counties for home buyers. To save a deposit in the shortest time, buyers should look to one of these counties or others at the top of our Affordability Index. Couples earning the average salary in Leitrim could save for a mortgage deposit in two years and four months, in Donegal, Roscommon or Mayo, it could take two years and five months. Our research showed that the most affordable places for first-time buyers were not necessarily the areas with the lowest house prices. Although cheaper property prices help, having a comparably higher income makes your mortgage more affordable, and deposits take less time to save. The income-to-house price ratio was around 1 to 3 in these areas. Rank RPPI Region Median first time buyer house price Median annual earnings JOINT BUYERS Years to save 1 Longford €224,000 €38,857 2.3 2 Leitrim €245,000 €41,162 2.4 3 Donegal €225,000 €36,967 2.5 4 Roscommon €260,000 €42,150 2.5 5 Mayo €255,000 €40,657 2.5 Top 5 least affordable places for joint buyers Unsurprisingly, areas in and around Dublin were the most out of reach for first-time buyers, with Dún Laoghaire the least affordable place for both joint and sole buyers. Dún Laoghaire ranks as most out of reach for mortgage seekers, requiring a couple to save for a staggering 21 years and 3 months. South Dublin, Galway City, Louth and Wicklow follow at around 10 years, making them the most challenging regions for joint buyers. The income-to-house-price ratio of over 1:5 makes buying in these desirable areas an impossible dream, even for most dual-income households without a ma...
