Former Navan Councillor Attempted To leave witness box during hearing

>During further cross-examination by the solicitor Mr Forde stood up and prepared to leave the witness box. Both the judge and Mr O’Byrne asked Mr Forde to stay as the case was not finished but he left the courtroom. The judge said she was not satisfied with the evidence given by the plaintiff Mr Forde and dismissed his claim against Mr Madden with costs ordered against Mr Forde.

“I shall have my moment of justice!”

Indeed you will. Fuckin’ eejit.

Not sure the neighbour will get their costs, considering the ex Councillor had to pay 50k for defamation a few weeks ago

That’s only the start of what comes up for his past court appearances.
