Counsel for both men, who were separately represented, today urged the court to be as lenient as possible, for reasons including evidence neither man had been “on the Garda radar” prior to this offence.
In relation to Bonney, it was satisfied beyond reasonable doubt he had possession of a black BMW jeep, registered to his father’s company, in February 2016, that this vehicle was the one depicted in a CCTV montage of vehicle movements on February 5th 2016 and that he was the sole driver of it throughout that day.
He had set up his own building company which at one point employed 10 people before it ran into difficulties as a result of the collapse of the so-called Celtic Tiger building boom. Mr Fitzgerald asked the court to take all those factors into account in determining sentence for this “isolated” offence.
