A former Labour and Sinn Féin Dublin City councillor has pleaded guilty to making hoax telephone calls, a court has heard.

Killian Forde was a Dublin City councillor with Sinn Féin from 2004 to 2010 before switching to Labour. He resigned his seat in 2011 when he was made chief executive of the Integration Centre. He was also skiing correspondent with The Irish Times.

Forde told Judge Bridget Reilly in Tallaght court he is not working at the moment.
