Byrne thanks former clients for 'not going to town on me' during €52m trial

Former solicitor Thomas Byrne broke down in tears as he thanked his past clients and alleged victims for the “fair evidence” they gave in his trial and for “not going to town on me”.
On his third day of cross-examination during his €52m theft and fraud trial, Mr Byrne agreed with prosecuting counsel Remy Farrell SC, that it was “a striking feature” of his evidence that he “spoke with genuine affection” for his former clients.
