Man tells court he gave £10,000 to Redmond

A businessman has told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court corruption trial jury that he gave £10,000 in a brown envelope to the former Assistant City and County Manager, Mr George Redmond, but said Mr Redmond didn't ask him for it.

"I enticed him by saying I would look after him very well", Mr Brendan Fassnidge said in reply to prosecuting counsel, Mr Patrick J McCarthy SC (with Mr Patrick McGrath BL).
