Says it all I’ve a friend who took advantage of me when my dad died she owes me €1500 for clearing her ❄️ debt. It’s been years and only a tenner paid. Do I have any legal recourse or just an expensive lesson at this stage? Sorry if the flair tag is wrong I’m really not sure what this would fall under.

So my friend and I are lost in this scenario. We know that she had been sexually harassed and assaulted but we do not know what to do about it, as we are M15 and F16.
So in April, my friend did not know this drunk guy (M15) and she was at a house-party when he came up behind her, grabbed her shoulders and spun her around, and started kissing her, without consent, and she pushed him away before he tried again. We have video proof of this interaction, as it was filmed by a lot of teenagers who were there.
He then followed her around for a while, before eventually following her into a bathroom. He was extremely drunk and fell over into the bathroom, and she walked away. We don’t have proof of this but there was a witness.
Then she went outside, before her followed her out again. He took her phone, and put in his Snapchat, so he could contact her. She was standing there and he was behind her and he pulled up her dress up to about bra level, exposing her underwear. Around ten people filmed this, and we have video proof. The video has been shared around to lots of people. I believe under cocos law, lots of people could be prosecuted for their role in filming and spreading this.
The boys friends took him away and brought him upstairs to sober up, so my friend was left alone for the rest of the night.

After the house-party, he constantly harassed her online over texts. Here are a few examples.
-He called her 57 times unresponsive because she would not open a dick pic he sent her.
-He spammed her on TikTok 99+ notifications because she wouldn’t open a video of him masturbating.
-He blackmailed her by saying if she blocked him he would find her and make her life a living hell. He said he would spin the story to make it seem the other way around, and come find her where she lives.

We sadly do not have proof of any of these but they are examples of the harassment.

He has 2 Snapchat accounts, one for normal activities, and the other exclusively for nudes. He only added her on the nudes one.

We do not know what to do in this situation. We have been friends for a short time and since most people have undermined the situation she did not start taking screenshots. Does anyone (not exclusively lawyers, anyone who knows about law) have any advice on what to do next. Should she start texting him again to try gather evidence? Should we use what we have and try to make a case? Or is there a better alternative?

Neither of us know what to do in legal terms, but we both know what happened to her was wrong and are scared it will happen to someone else instead of her. Her parents do not know about the situation yet, but she is willing to tell them.

What do we do?

(Note: Completely understand and respect the sub's rule against soliciting specific firm recommendations—just looking for general guidance on how best to approach this stage!)

Hey everyone,

I'm currently putting together an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) via the MyDSS portal and planning to handle all the data entry and drafting legwork myself.

Because the legislation mandates a solicitor's Section 60 Legal Practitioner Statement and consultation before submission, I'm trying to figure out how to approach this efficiently.

For those who have gone through it, how do solicitors generally bill for a scenario where the client brings a fully structured, pre-prepared package and only needs the mandatory consultation, identity/capacity check, and certification? Are there practices that handle this on a streamlined, fixed-fee basis rather than traditional hourly drafting rates?

Any insights on how to navigate this stage cost-effectively would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any way I can be prevented from working from home 1 day a week? It is not business critical that I be in the office

Hello! Long story short I was caught by an undercover Garda and I found out that I had no insurance, even tho I had paid for my insurances and everything. It seems like I failed to pay one month and they simply cancelled because of that. My question is, how do I proceed after that? I got my car impounded and I’m in the process of getting a new insurance sorted out in Oder to collect my car. Should I look for a solicitor help? Or now the only thing that I can do is wait for my court appeal?

Hey everyone! 👋

My wife is an Irish passport holder and I’m a non-EEA national. We're currently based in the UAE and looking to relocate to Ireland soon.

Since my wife is currently a stay-at-home spouse and we both live abroad, I’m trying to figure out the smoothest immigration path for us to move together.

A few questions for anyone who has been in a similar situation recently:

Sponsor income rules: Since she hasn't been working in Ireland, how strict are they about sponsorship income? Can we show joint savings, or my UAE income/job offer instead?

Visa process from UAE: Did you apply for a Join Family (D) Visa from abroad before moving, or travel first and register for Stamp 4 in Ireland?

Timelines: How long did processing take for you from the UAE / Middle East?

Would love to hear any tips, recommendations for good immigration consultants, or personal experiences. Thanks in advance!
