M'lud, I put it to you that my client was a talented footballer. He passed the Gardai 39 times before being stopped.
He was also a team player, alas, because of his advanced years he doesn't remember the captain's name , having only met approximately 40 times.
The damage done to the country is a lot less than that of David Drumm's crimes. So I'd ask that in the event of a custodial sentence that my client be considered for the beautiful lakeside location of Loughan House.
