European arrest warrants after brexit, what will happen?

An incredible useful tool, if somewhat flawed, what will replace it between the UK and Ireland?

Oskar Pistorius release October 20 2015

What a terrible reflection on the South African Criminal Justice system, if it can be called that.                                                          A completely compromised investigation, a poor trial, and total mismanagement since then....now he is out, on this ridiculous house arrest, pathetic.                                                                   Now South Africa wishes to withdraw from the Rome treaty on war crimes, what a mess.                                                                         The ANC should be ashamed of themselves for betraying the memory of Nelson Mandela.....

Irish Criminal Law

Just wondering about the legality or otherwise of An Post's action in dismissing Mrs Bernie Moore, postmistress at Carrigans, Co. Donegal. Did they dismiss her and deprive her of her pension before carrying out an internal investigation and before the outcome of the Garda Siochana's inquiries were known? Thanks, Paul
