Limerick judge rows back on neck tie demand after being confronted by a open-shirted psychiatrist

A judge has rowed back on his neck tie rule for male witnesses after being confronted by a open-shirted psychiatrist at Limerick Circuit Court.

Judge James O’Donohue earlier this week took another professional witness to task when he entered the witness box without a tie.

Judge O’Donohue told well-known Limerick architect, Noel Kerley: “We want the right kind of dress and proper decorum here. This is not a Ryanair kind of show we are running here.”
