Prosecuting counsel in the trial of an Irish celebrity accused of the defilement of a 16-year-old girl over a decade ago has told a jury his version of events is “unbelievable” and “riddled with inconsistencies”.

The man (40) has pleaded not guilty to three counts of engaging in sexual acts with a child under the age of 17 at locations in Dublin on dates between August and December 2010.
