Redmond denied legal aid for appeal

GEORGE REDMOND was denied legal aid yesterday despite his claims that he is in debt to the tune of €150,000.

The 80-year-old former Dublin Assistant City and Council Manager will have to fund his legal battle against corruption convictions, despite his pleas of impoverishment.

Redmond, who has been in Cloverhill Prison since last December, claims a family member had to pay a number of legal bills for him.
