Photograph: Getty ImagesA man accused by a judge of “thinking he was God Almighty” has apologised before the High Court over his “genuine mistake” of breaching orders not to contact a Co Laois couple who have sued him over ownership of a garage.

As a result, they brought a motion seeking Mr Martin snr’s attachment and possible committal to prison. Mr Martin snr’s lawyers said there had been no repeat after the second breach of the order and the parties had been attempting to resolve matters outside of the court. Mr Giblin, who said his clients reject much of what Mr Martin had told the court, said Mr Martin snr had in communications threatened to make complaints about his clients to various agencies including Tusla.
