Frank Dunlop, the PR consultant who was jailed for bribing politicians, was released from prison this weekend after serving almost 14 months in jail.
The Prisons Service confirmed that the former government press secretary was released from Arbour Hill Prison on Saturday morning.
Judge Frank O’Donnell sentenced him to two-years imprisonment after Dunlop pleaded guilty to five charges of bribing councillors in relation to the zoning of development land in Carrickmines, Co Dublin.
Judge O’Donnell suspended six months of the sentence. Dunlop was entitled to a remission of a quarter of the sentence for good behaviour.
