O’Flaherty, acted beyond his own responsibilities and involved himself in this case after an ‘accidental’ meeting with Sheedy’s sister, who asked O’Flaherty to help in the case, resulting with Sheedy being re-listed. After his intervention, the case was reviewed by Judge Kelly (who was originally responsible for the case) who eventually remitted what was left of Sheedy’s sentence. This sort of activity is reportedly common within the Judiciary, and again proves that the Judiciary can in fact cause the government to act ineffectively.
It is blatant that the Judiciary, as any organ of political power in Ireland, is effective and crucial in many areas of governing but is also riddled with criticism. The arguments that the Judiciary both help and hinder the government in the Republic of Ireland very much support the overall conclusion of each belief however, it is difficult to claim that either opinion is right or wrong and so it must be concluded that the Judiciary greatly enhances the effectiveness of government in the Republic of Ireland, but could be improved further to absolutely maximise this effect.
