A message has to go out that fraudulent claims will not be tolerated, a judge has said as she jailed a 49-year-old Tralee man who made a false claim about tripping inside a pub toilet.

Judge Sinead Behan made the comments in Tralee Circuit Criminal Court as she sentenced Neill Conlon of The Mews, Moyderwell, Tralee, to 18 months.
