 Three-time All-Ireland-winning Limerick hurler Pat Ryan successfully appealed a jail sentence and conviction for perjury today, seven months after he had pleaded guilty to lying during criminal proceedings against him.

Despite admitting last March that he lied under oath before a court in October 2020, during a prosecution against him for alleged speeding, Mr Ryan left Limerick Circuit Criminal Court today with neither a conviction nor a sentence against him, after Judge Tom O’Donnell allowed his appeal.
