Comedian donates to charity

Comedian Katherine Lynch played the role of defence lawyer yesterday when she was ordered to donate €100 to charity for travelling on a train without a ticket.

The host of RTÉ’s Katherine Lynch’s Big Fat Breakfast Show appeared at Dublin District Court to face prosecution for fare evasion on Nov 10, 2011.

She was spared a conviction, fine, and a possible two-day jail term after she complied with an order by Judge John Lindsay to donate €100 to Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
