The corruption trial of George Redmond at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has continued in legal argument in the absence of the jury.
Mr Redmond (83) of College Gate, Castleknock, a former assistant city and county manager, has pleaded not guilty to two charges arising out of a compulsory purchase order on 167 acres of land at Buzzardstown and Coolmine, in north-west Co Dublin.
He denies receiving £10,000 from the late Fianna Fáil councillor Patrick Dunne on a date between October 10th, 1985, and June 26th, 1989, as an inducement in respect of the compulsory purchase order.
