Judge of the Supreme Court, Séamus Woulfe SC, took the witness box this morning for the second day of the ‘Golfgate’ hearing in Galway.

Independent TD Noel Grealish and former Fianna Fáil senator Donie Cassidy, along with hoteliers John Sweeney and James Sweeney, each deny they organised an Oireachtas Golf Society event at the Station House Hotel in Clifden during pandemic restrictions on August 19, 2020.
