Nama fraud prosecution utterly hopeless says defence
1 week ago
Northern Ireland has benefitted hugely hugely from his work over the years said defence barrister Frank ODonoghue KC
Cushnahan has been a prominent businessman in Northern Ireland over many years working in both the private and public sector
Mr ODonoghue told the court that the case against him was built on innuendo and inferences which were untrue and outrageous
He has been living a life of character assassination interrogation prosecution and some might say persecution for the last 10 years said the barrister
Earlier this month Cushnahan decided not to give evidence in his defence at his fraud trial
ODonoghue defended Mr Cushnahans decision pointing to his age and the fact that the case concerned events more than 10 years ago
