The jury in the corruption trial of the former Dublin City and County Assistant Manager, Mr George Redmond, has been sent to a hotel overnight.
The jury began its deliberations this afternoon.
Mr Redmond (79), has pleaded not guilty to two charges alleging he got £10,000 from Mr Fassnidge relating to the sale of a right-of-way from Dublin County Council at the Lucan bypass.
Mr Redmond denies that while an agent or servant of the Council of the County of Dublin, a public body, he corruptly received a gift of money from Mr Fassnidge 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 denies that as an agent he corruptly accepted for himself a gift of money as an inducement or reward for showing favour to another, namely Mr Fassnidge, in relation to the said principal's affairs, namely the sale of the right of way.
Today is the 12th day of the trial.
