Brady flew from US to tell ‘complete lie’ in testifying, High Court hears

Former Lord Mayor of Dublin Royston Brady told a “complete lie” when testifying he had advised a hotel boss of a head chef’s propensity for violence before a decision was made to employ him, it has been claimed before the High Court.

Mr Brady, who flew in to give evidence from the US where he now works, insisted before the High Court he had informed Ian McGuinness, managing director of Roganstown Golf and Country Club hotel, Swords, Dublin, that chef Max Usai had “a temper” and had previously been involved in an assault at another hotel before Mr McGuinness decided to take the chef on in Roganstown.

Mr McGuinness said Mr Brady had come all the way from the US “to make my life miserable”.
