No one comes out of personal injury award fiasco well
Accusing Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan of a U-turn on personal injury award guidelines might be a stretch given it appears he was careful not to state publicly that he was in favour of the Judicial Council plan to increase awards by 17 per cent. But he certainly did nothing to suggest he opposed it or that he intended to blank the Judicial Council on this issue in dramatic fashion this week. Was the plan simply to sit back and measure the scale of opposition to the proposal for five whole months? If so, what does this tell us about policymaking here? Where's the leadership? The whole fiasco simply serves to highlight the mockery that is the process by which such a sensitive issue is addressed – a classic Irish solution to an Irish problem. READ MORE Following last year's Supreme Court ruling, we have the bizarre stage play of the Judicial Council conducting periodic reviews of the guidelines as provided for under the 2019 legislation it operates under. However, its recommendations are just that. Passed to the Minister for Justice, they have no force until the minister lays them before the Oireachtas alongside a resolution to give them force of law when backed by a vote. That way, a judiciary that can be prickly at any perceived intrusion into their realm can maintain its appearance of independence by reviewing the rules. Politicians, for their part, can largely wash their hands of responsibility by arguing that the proposals are not theirs, but the judiciary's. Meanwhile, costs rise and Ireland's compensation culture continues largely untouched. When the Judicial Council concedes that the outcome of this, its first review of the guidelines, amounted to little more than applying the impact of consumer price inflation over the intervening period, the circus is complete. The process is indefensible. It remains unclear whether the decision was of the Minister's own volition or at the behest of the Cabinet or the Coalition party leaders eager to damp down the flames of fury from industry and consumers alike over the increases that would inevitably follow – not least given his petulant pronouncement after the decision that a failure to present the 17 per cent hike might only see courts ramping up awards anyway and encourage people to bypass the Injuries Resolution Board. The guidelines that have started to put manners on personal injury awards remain in place, complete with provisions to curb precisely those tendencies, as the Minister well knows.

Crime fiction: domestic noir at its most beguilingly chilling
At the heart of domestic noir lies a profound philosophical question: how well, really, can we know another person? Set in the village of Blarney, Michelle McDonagh's Some of This Is True (Hachette Ireland, £15.99) opens with the death of 22-year-old Irish-American tourist, Jessie DeMarco, who has travelled to Ireland to try to find her birth father. Did Jessie fall down the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle early one winter morning, or was she pushed? These questions, and more, come to occupy the minds of Maria Murphy, who is married to Tadhg, and Noelle, the owner of a B&B where Jessie's estranged mother Dani DeMarco stays when she arrives in Blarney to recover her daughter's body. Outraged when the local gardaí declare Jessie's death an accident without investigating thoroughly, Dani is shocked when she encounters Tadhg – who she knew once as 'Michael', the charming high schoolteacher who made her pregnant when he was teaching in Boston two decades previously. Rooted in family dynamics and a tightly-knit community, Some of This Is True makes a virtue of its ostensibly prosaic characters (primary schoolteachers, GAA stalwarts, struggling small business owners) largely because McDonagh renders her characters and their concerns in a way that is wholly unforced but grippingly authentic as the women start to wonder how well they know their husbands and sons. Told in a deceptively simple style, enlivened by snippets of blackly comic Cork vernacular, Some of This Is True is domestic noir at its most beguilingly chilling. READ MORE A 'lifetime of guilt and shame' can erode even the strongest of marital bonds, but what could be so shameful as to persuade Wendy, a poet, that her husband Thom needs to die? Might it be the fact that Thom, a tenured academic in a minor New England university, has vague plans to write a mystery novel that reads suspiciously like a veiled confession to murder? So begins Peter Swanson's Kill Your Darlings (Faber, £18.99), which quickly establishes that Thom is a boozy, philandering wastrel who has largely squandered his gifts, and just as quickly has Wendy bump him off, and in a manner that suggests that this is not the first time Wendy has brought an unsatisfactory marriage to a violent conclusion. The crucial question here is why, and Peter Swanson employs a reverse chronology to tell his story, with each chapter – alternating between Wendy and Thom's points of view – taking us further back in time to the halcyon days when the couple first met as lovestruck teens. 'I just keep coming back to this strange feeling that this is fate,' Thom says, and that reverse chronology certainly gives events the sense of creeping inevitability that characterises the best noir. Swanson emphasises this mood with nods to The Maltese Falcon and Double Indemnity (as well as Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy and multiple mentions of Edgar Allan Poe). The result is a powerful literary noir that picks the bones of a singular relationship, one in which, as Thom puts it, 'we were meant to kill to be together'. [ New crime fiction: Michael Connelly revels in fresh freedom, Brian McGilloway serves up a suffocatingly claustrophobic affair Opens in new window ] A belated sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10 (2016), Ruth Ware's The Woman in Suite 11 (Simon & Schuster, £16.99) opens with travel journalist Lo Blacklock accepting an invitation to the opening of a luxurious Swiss hotel, where she hopes to score a rare interview with Marcus Leidmann, a reclusive billionaire and one of the richest men in Europe. Lo hardly has time to settle in, however, before she encounters an old frenemy from The Woman in Cabin 10: the manipulative Carrie Bullmer, who tells Lo that she is being held against her will by the abusive, controlling Leidmann, and desperately needs Lo's help to escape to the UK. Which is how Lo, who once more finds herself 'compelled by some impulse I didn't fully understand … a kind of saviour complex', finds herself in a nightmare scenario and suspected of murder. A fast-paced treasure trove of conspicuous consumption, double and triple crosses, and imperilled heroines making very bad decisions, The Woman in Suite 11 is as fizzily decadent as a pre-brunch mimosa. Fresh from delivering the George Smiley Cold War spy thriller Karla's Choice (2024), Nick Harkaway returns with Sleeper Beach (Corsair, £20), a blend of sci-fi and the classic private eye novels of Continental Op-era Dashiell Hammett. Cal Sounder is a Titan, a 7ft tall, medically enhanced uber-human, who is commissioned by the wealthy matriarch Martha Erskine – herself a Titan – to investigate the apparent murder of Ailsa Lloyd in the coastal town of Shearwater, once a thriving fishing port but now the preferred destination of hordes of lost souls – the 'sleepers' of the title – who are broken by poverty and hopelessness, and who travel to Shearwater to sit on its beach and simply wait for death to come. Complicating Sounder's investigation are two issues: one, the Erskine family pretty much own Shearwater, and two, Martha Erskine privately suspects that she may have murdered Ailsa Lloyd. What follows, as Sounder starts to realise that Ailsa Lloyd was a labour activist quietly fomenting neo-Marxist revolution, is a brilliantly detailed novel that looks forward to the bleak prospect of policing controlled by 'the secular divine' and backward to those early Hammett novels in which Pinkerton detectives were more likely to be characterised as strikebreakers than knights errant devoted to winkling out truth and justice. Equally effective as speculative fiction and a classic crime fiction throwback, Sleeper Beach will likely prove the first of many outings for the 'noirish Hercules' Cal Sounder. Consistently inventive, always seeking to expand the genre's parameters, Sophie Hannah has outdone herself with No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done (Bedford Square, £18.99). The sleepy village of Swaffham Tilney in Cambridgeshire is the unlikely setting for a crime fiction yarn that begins with the hapless PC Connor Chantree trying to persuade his boss that the manuscript-of-sorts he has discovered sheds new light on the recent furore caused when Champ Lambert (allegedly) bit Tess Gavey, thus setting in train the sensational events alluded to in the title. Champ, we discover, is the beloved Welsh terrier owned by Sally Lambert, a woman who is utterly devoted to her canine chum: 'The truth was – and if Sally could change minds in this world about one thing and one thing only, this would be it – being the parent of a dog is exactly the same as being a parent of humans.' And so, when Champ is accused of biting the daughter of the neighbours with whom Sally is already embroiled in a feud ('on the Hatfield-McCoy level'), there's only one thing for it: Sally, Champ and the entire Lambert family go on the run, aided and abetted by their friendly local millionaire. Quietly absurd (Champ's plight is compared to the Dreyfus affair and the hounding to death of Alan Turing), and featuring a secondary feud rooted in the crime credentials of Agatha Christie's Mary Westmacott novels (!), No One Would Do … is the proverbial shaggy dog story, a delightfully charming variation on the crime genre which proves that Sophie Hannah could probably rewrite the phone book to entertaining effect. Declan Burke is an author and journalist. His latest novel is The Lammisters (No Alibis Press).

Repeat offender jailed after claiming girl (5) made call that breached safety order
The man, who is in his 30s, had pleaded not guilty under Section 33(1) of the Domestic Violence Act 2018. A repeat offender who breached a safety order by calling his former partner and tried to blame a five-year-old girl for dialling the number has been jailed for three months. The man, who is in his 30s, had pleaded not guilty under Section 33(1) of the Domestic Violence Act 2018 after the court heard the woman was put in fear by the phone call, which came while she was at home with their children. The woman told Tallaght District Court she was getting the children ready for school when her phone rang on July 2, 2024. 'I was afraid. I just left the house with the kids,' she said. 'Usually when he rings, something bad happens. I felt it was unsafe to stay.' She said she didn't answer the call, but that it was enough to put her in fear. Under cross-examination from defence solicitor John O'Leary, she accepted she didn't know what the caller had intended to say, as she hadn't picked up. Tallaght district court. News in 90 Seconds - Saturday July 12 Garda Shane McCabe told the court that the complainant attended the Garda station on the evening of July 2 to report a possible breach of a safety order. He said she appeared agitated when giving her statement. Garda McCabe also told the court that the accused had six previous convictions, including assault, driving without insurance, and three prior breaches of safety and protection orders. The accused told the court he had been in a car when the call was made. He said he had given the phone to a child in the car and claimed she must have dialled the number. He told the court he had previously deleted the complainant's number but was using a new phone and had inserted a SIM card that still contained the number He said he hadn't realised it was saved and only discovered the call had been made after checking the dialled numbers on the phone when the child returned it to him. Prosecuting solicitor Tom Conlon, for the DPP, suggested the explanation was too convenient. 'So it just so happened that a five-year-old took your phone and made a call - coincidentally - to the very person you're barred from contacting under a court order?' he asked. Mr Conlon also asked whether the accused had given that explanation to Gardaí at the time. 'I think I did, yeah,' the man replied. Mr O'Leary, in mitigation, said his client had been in an on-and-off relationship with the complainant for many years and 'loves her to bits". Counsel said the man was getting on well in custody, working in the prison kitchen, and wanted to put the matter behind him. Judge Shalom Binchy said there was nothing in the defence's mitigation to suggest the accused was addressing his issues with violence towards women. 'It's clear from his previous convictions that there's a difficulty in relation to violence and his attitude towards women,' she said. 'And not only that - he's now blaming a five-year-old girl for this breach.' She noted that the case had been contested and that the accused had three prior breaches of protection orders. She sentenced him to six months in prison, with the final three months suspended for 18 months. The man must enter a bond of €300 and attend the MOVE (Men Overcoming Violence) programme within three months of his release. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme
