Counterfeit notes in circulation
GARDAI in Limerick are warning retailers and the public that counterfeit euro notes are in circulation in parts of the city.
The warning comes after Gardaí at Henry Street received reports that €20 and €50 notes had been passed as legal tender.
They say that all notes should be checked and any suspicions should be reported to them as it is a criminal offence to be in possession of or to try and pass counterfeit notes off as legal tender.
Dundon brother appeal conviction
THE once-feared Limerick brothers Wayne and John Dundon have appealed their convictions for making threats to kill a mother and daughter.
Wayne Dundon, (37), of Lenihan Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, was found guilty by the Special Criminal Court in 2012 of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to Alice Collins and her sons, Gareth and Jimmy Collins at Hyde Avenue, Limerick on September 30, 2010.
The non-jury court also found him guilty of the intimidation of potential prosecution witnesses Alice and April Collins.
John Dundon (33), of Hyde Road, was also convicted of threatening to kill April Collins at Hyde Road between April 3 and 4, 2011.
April who split from Dundon’s younger brother Ger before she turned State witness, is the mother of his three children.
The non-jury three judge Special Criminal Court sentenced Wayne Dundon to six years imprisonment and John to five and a half years in 2012.
Following legal argument and a number of motions during the hearing, the Court of Appeal reserved judgment on the brothers’ appeals against conviction and is to give its decision at a later date.
