Redmond trial adjourned

The trial of Mr George Redmond on corruption charges which was due to begin today/tomorrow has been adjourned until October next because of media reporting of evidence in the Mahon Tribunal which discredited him.

Mr Redmond (aged 82) has pleaded not guilty to receiving Ir£10,000 on a date between June 1, 1985 and June 1, 1986 as an inducement or reward for doing or forebearing to do anything in respect of a compulsory purchase order by Dublin City Council on 167 acres of land situated at Bussardstown and Coolmine.
