Judge describes woman's humanist marriage as 'mumbo-jumbo' and says that she is not married at all

A judge has described a Co Clare woman’s humanist marriage as ‘mumbo-jumbo’ and 'for the fairies' stating that she didn't get married at all four years ago.

At Killaloe District Court on Tuesday, Judge Patrick Durcan made his comment when convicting mother of nine, Patricia McLeish (41) of Shanbally, Craughwell, Co Galway of giving a Garda a false name when she was stopped at the side of the road by Det Garda John Jenks on March 6 last at Bridgetown, Co Clare.
