Deliberations in the trial of five men accused of involvement in a €2.28 million “tiger kidnapping” robbery will not begin until next week because several jurors had tickets for last night’s U2 concert.
The jury is expected to begin considering a verdict on Monday at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after Judge Tony Hunt ended proceedings early. It was day 56 of the 14-week trial.
David Byrne (36) of Old Brazeel Way, Knocksedan, Swords; Niall Byrne (27), of Aughavanagh Road, Crumlin; Mark Farrelly (37), of Moatview Court, Priorswood; Christopher Corcoran (61), of Bayside Boulevard North, Sutton; and Jason Kavanagh (34), of Parslickstown Court, Ladyswell, have all pleaded not guilty to falsely imprisoning the Richardson family in 2005.
