I did not purposely lie to gardaí, says accused

A Meath resident accused of robbery and false imprisonment has admitted he lied to gardaí, but not "purposely", when questioned over whether he knew a van was travelling in convoy behind him.

Francis Cunningham was stopped in his Renault car by armed gardaí at the Enfield Roundabout on March 14, 2007 and arrested after the alleged robbery took place.
