Jury fail to agree verdict on second count in Redmond trial

The George Redmond corruption trial has ended with the jury acquitting him on one charge and failing to agree a verdict on the second count.

The jury found him not guilty of receiving a £10,000 bribe from the late Fianna Fáil councillor, Mr Patrick Dunne, "as a reward for showing favour to another" in relation to a compulsory purchase order (CPO) on 167 acres of land at Buzzardstown and Coolmine, in north-west Dublin when he was an assistant county manager.
