‘Derisory’ compo payments could dash McArdle’s hopes of early release
The Irishman was criticised over the paltry payments to his late wife’s parents and children in a report to prison chiefs submitted by the Spanish court that jailed him.
Dad-of-three McArdle is still paying just €50 a month despite being ordered to pay €220,000 compensation and thousands more in court costs when convicted of manslaughter more than four years ago.
