Money-lending couple and their son plead guilty to assault charges

A married Limerick couple who previously were ordered to pay almost €1m to the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) over an illegal money lending business, were back in court yesterday arising out of a serious assault on a man last March.

Brendan Wallace, aged 55, and Patricia Wallace, aged 44, of Fernleigh, Westbury, Corbally, Limerick, pleaded guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to 10 charges arising from the incident.

Brendan Wallace pleaded guilty to assault causing harm and having a curtain pole.
