I am due to appear for the 4th time in court in a couple of weeks as a witness in an assault case.
I was assaulted 2 years ago , made a complain to the Garda who then brought this case to the court!
I went 3 times to court (Dublin) in the last year , the case was posponed everytime for various reasons like the defendant is not here or....)
I so far took 3 days off for nothing !
This ridiculous game doesn't seem to bother the local garda.
Being a witness i can't get a solicitor to represent me and i am not allowed to stand up in court to complain.
What can i do for the case to go ahead ? How long will this game go on ?
It seems that the law is made for the offender and that there is nothing else i can do except suing him myself , thing i don't want to do as it will bring extra costs , stress etc....
Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks
