A 58-YEAR-OLD man has appeared before Ennis District Court charged with threatening his son with a loaded shotgun.
Patrick Moloney, with an address at Gaurus, Ennis, was present in court on Friday as Insp Tom Kennedy described details of the incident.
Insp Kennedy told the court that the charges relate to an incident that occurred at the home of Mr Moloney’s wife, where it is alleged that Mr Moloney threatened his son Joseph Moloney with a shotgun. Insp Kennedy told the court that no one was hurt in the incident. Judge Joseph Mangan declined jurisdiction in the case and remanded Mr Moloney on bail until May 6. He also ordered the preparation of a book of evidence.
