A Judge has issued an arrest warrant for a man who demanded €1m to come back into court. When asked what he was doing about the charges by Judge Paul Kelly, Dignam replied that the charges were "legal fiction." When asked if he was Thomas Dignam he replied: "I'm the man commonly known as Thomas Dignam." However, Dignam replied: "I want €1m to come back into this court." Judge Kelly asked if Mr Dignam had any previous convictions and Gardai said that he had just one - for possession of explosives in 1974.
