Court temporarily frees Offaly businessman jailed for contempt
A Co Offaly businessman jailed for almost two weeks for contempt of court over failure to secure the return of leased machinery worth €2m has been temporarily freed by a High Court judge until later this week.
Ms Justice Mary Laffoy warned Donal Rigney yesterday he could be returned to jail on Thursday if the court orders concerning return of the machinery to finance company Lombard Ireland Ltd are not obeyed.
