'Make a phone call and call reality', judge tells man who spent over €58k accidentally lodged to his account

A man who spent €58,000 accidentally lodged in his bank account claimed he did not set out to defraud anybody but the sentencing judge said the accused needed to make a phone call to reality.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said the accused only succeeded in digging a bigger hole for himself by going into the witness box at Cork Circuit Criminal Court today.
