A day of Simpsons references in the Irish legal system

From Friday's Irish Times:

1. A taxi-driver who removed part of a clamp and drove off with the rest of it still on his car has paid compensation for the damage, a court heard yesterday.

2. According to the witness [in the property zoning corruption tribunal], "Jim Kennedy [dubious property developer] would put legs on lies and would have them running out before you like leprechauns". He compared Mr Kennedy to the cartoon character, Bart Simpson, who says: "I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it and you can't prove I did it."
