“Once the funds stolen from me in England have been recuperated, I'll donate every cent to the Irish Cancer Society, in memory of my father who died from pancreatic cancer eight months ago, and to MS Ireland, in support of a very dear friend who is living quietly and courageously with MS,” he writes.
