The former Dublin city and county assistant manager, George Redmond, has been found guilty on two counts of corruption at the at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court and remanded in custody until a December 17th sentencing hearing.
Redmond was removed after the hearing to Cloverhill Prison, where he will be housed on the remand wing.
Lawyers acting for Redmond applied for a deferral of sentencing on medical grounds. The application was granted and Redmond has been remanded in custody until that date.
Counsel acting for the prosecution also said there were two further charges they wished to submit relating to compulsory purchase orders. These charges will be heard on the same date as sentencing.
Redmond (79) was found guilty in connection with two charges alleging he got £10,000 relating to the sale of a right-of-way from Dublin County Council at the Lucan bypass.
Redmond had denied that while an agent or servant of the Council of the County of Dublin, a public body, he corruptly received a gift of money on a date between June 1st, 1987, and May 31st, 1988, as an inducement or reward for doing or forbearing to do anything in respect of the sale of a right-of-way at Palmerstown, by the Council of the County of Dublin.
He also denied that as an agent he corruptly accepted for himself a gift of money as an inducement or reward for showing favour to another in relation to the said principal's affairs, namely the sale of the right-of-way.
The jury took just over seven hours to reach their majority verdicts on the charges.
