Kerry-based court sketch artist Mike O'Donnell was speaking as part of the Ask Me Anything series on Lunchtime Live

The Kerry-based artist said he just decided to go into a courtroom one day."When I was a young boy - I'm from Kerry and football is a big thing - I love drawing people, it's the most challenging thing," he said."So I went into the local court - and the reason that came up was I was watching an episode of 'Kojak' years ago - and I said, 'That's something I could do'.

"I heard that videographers couldn't video people to take photographs of people going into court - which was always the practice up to then.
