“The law is one thing, and justice is another,” Judge O’Donnell said.
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.
When Ryan was called to give evidence in the 2020 speeding case he falsely told the court that he did not receive a summons for the alleged speeding offence. Detective Garda John Swan, attached to the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, had given evidence previously that a photograph of the original speeding summons sent to Ryan had been discovered by GNBCI officers during a separate investigation after a mobile phone belonging to an individual who was not identified in court was seized by Gardai.
