    Is it perjury if you tell something to a court which you genuinely believe to be true, but is later proven factually incorrect.

    And I'm not saying "genuinely" tongue-in-cheek in the Fianna Fail sense of the word.

    If you precede the telling of said 'fact' with the words 'On mature recollection...', you should be fine.

    ... or "allegedly".

    No it, isn't perjury - perjury has to be proven that you knoew you were lying.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
