Judge intervenes for juror whose car was clamped

ONE of the country’s top criminal judges has intervened to help a Limerick man whose car was clamped while he was on jury duty.

During a trial at the Central Criminal Court at the County Courthouse in Merchant’s Quay, Limerick, last week, one of the jury members returned to his car in the adjoining Potato Market to discover it had been clamped.

He had to pay €120 to the clamping company engaged by the Limerick Market Trustees who administer the Potato Market.
