Leading lawyer assaulted legal rival
Judge Patrick Clyne said he would exercise his discretion and dismiss the case on its merits, avoiding a conviction, if Mr Devane donated €1,000 to St Vincent de Paul by Oct 18.
Judge Clyne said it was a sad day for the court in Limerick, but he was happy that the State had proven its case on a section 2 assault by Mr Devane, aged 49, of Quinlan St, Limerick.
