Date set for Redmond trial

Mr George Redmond, former Assistant Dublin City and County Manager, is to be arraigned on alleged corruption charges on April 18, 2005 at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Mr Redmond was originally scheduled to go on trial on December 1, 2004 but Judge Desmond Hogan agreed to a submission by his counsel, Mr Brendan Grehan SC, on November 26, 2004 to vacate the trial date as Mr Redmond (aged 79) was scheduled to go into hospital surgery in December.
