Niall Kelly rejects claim he turned up posing as his cousin in contempt proceedings
A Dublin man, disguised in a wig, told a judge he wasn’t himself but was his own cousin, it was alleged in the Circuit Civil Court on Tuesday.
Mr Keaney, counsel for Fingal County Council which is seeking to attach and imprison Kelly for contempt of court for another issue, told Judge Linnane he realised he was verging on the border of giving evidence. Mr Keaney said Judge Noonan had struck out Mr Kelly’s appeal on the basis that he had failed to turn up to prosecute the appeal.
Judge Linnane, who last week directed the Garda Commissioner to arrest Mr Kelly and bring him to court to answer the allegation of contempt, agreed he had every right to appeal to Europe if he so felt. She told Mr Kelly she would give him another chance to comply with her order to remove the caravans and adjourned the application to attach and commit him until Friday July 26th.
