  1. From mister Joyce’s defence:

    >She said that the next date to fix dates for hearing at Ennis Circuit Court is December 13 for trials in February. She said: “It would be disproportionate to hold Mr Joyce on remand at this juncture and he would miss his daughter’s 10th birthday in September and miss the birth of his child his partner is due in January.

    Probably should have thought that before threatening to set people on fire.

    Fucking scumbag.

  2. Good to see courts and judges functioning as they should. Let’s get our cities and towns back from scum

  3. Thanks judge.  At least he was well mannered in the court.

    Sounds like an absolute moron, a dangerous moron though. I feel bad for his kids – I’m sure he has a good few

  4. Jesus that wild. I gave The Pipe a lift from Cavan to The Congo one time and didn’t look for anything.

  5. >between Lahinch Rd, Ennis, and Monreel South, Ennistymon, on the N85

    At least he got him most of the way there……../s

    What was the lad thinking getting into the car.

  6. Quite the role reversal — isn’t it normally the hitchhikers who are the threat? 🤔

    So this whole incident feels partly pre-meditated. He had a convenient power aid bottle filled with petrol like so was he planning to rob some unassuming person using it as a threat?

    “The garda said that it will be alleged that Mr Joyce of St Enda’s halting site“

    Anyone surprised?
