NO VERDICT IN GALWAY CORRUPTION TRIAL

Date Published: 24-Nov-2011

A jury has failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a 31-year-old Garda charged with corruptly issuing a driving licence to his brother.

Rosmuc native, Brendan Folan, with an address at 97 Mount Anville Wood, Lower Kilmacud Road, Dublin 14, had denied corruptly obtaining an advantage for Ciaran Folan by issuing him with a full, 10-year driving licence while he was employed as a public official at Galway County Council.

This afternoon the jury foreman told the court the jury could not reach a verdict.

Judge Raymond Groarke listed the matter for February 21 next.
