A former Limerick senior hurler has successfully appealed a jail sentence after being convicted of perjury earlier this year.
Pat Ryan from Doon appeared at Limerick Circuit Court after completing 100 hours of community service.
Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty to lying under oath when he told a court in October 2020 that he had not received a summons for a speeding offence. District Court Judge, Patricia Harney said that Mr Ryan had told a"brazen lie" that went to the core of the administration of justice. She imposed a two-week jail sentence at the time.
A jail sentence would have life-changing consequences for him the court was told at the time. He was part of one of the most successful hurling teams in the country. A sentence would have a tremendous impact on his life and his ability to travel.
