Ex-Rugby Star Faces Theft Charge | Belfast News

Former Irish rugby legend Brendan Mullin, who played 55 caps for Ireland in the 80s and 90s, is facing theft charges for allegedly stealing a 158 euro fragrance from a Dublin department store in May. This is his second court appearance, and his legal team is demanding statements from the sales assistant — which the prosecution says may not even exist. Mullin, now 62 and self-funding his defense, didn’t speak in court. The case, valued at a low amount, is being prosecuted in District Court with a max penalty of 12 months jail and a 3,000 euro fine — but he still has the option to move to jury trial in Circuit Court. His next court date is September 29th, when he’ll enter a plea. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
