Man collapses in court after being jailed over NCT scam

Stephen Rooney, aged 37, had just been sentenced to a year in jail when he slumped over in the dock. Judge Gerard Griffin rose and an ambulance was called for him.
Judge Griffin had imposed a three-and-a-half-year sentence but had suspended the final two and half years after taking into account Rooney’s co-operation with the Garda investigation and remorse.
