Sounds no more outrageous a defence then the polish fella who was acquitted after he claimed that the charges notification form was only printed in English,and should have been printed in IRISH also.HE WON HIS CASE .also on a serious note,I dare say if it was a foreigner who made a similer claim about not being able to practice his religion,rhe immigrant council of Ireland would have backed him all the way,and the authorities as usual,would have shit themselves and dismissed the charges
