Matthew O’Toole (58), found guilty of 15 charges including violent disorder, told Judge Martina Baxter that she was operating a ‘kangaroo court’
A fourth man – David Lawlor , of Bailis Downs, Navan, Co Meath – was found not guilty of the same 17 charges.
Evidence was heard that these men were armed with weapons, including a baseball bat, a meat cleaver, a hurley, a stick with nails in it, and a chain saw and that they attacked the security men who were guarding the property. When interviewed by gardaí, O’Toole initially denied going to Falsk, but later accepted he had been there and things had got out of control.
He also accepted he had made a number of phone calls in the early hours, but said not all were in relation to Falsk. Beirne admitted he drove the front door in with a sledgehammer. Mr McGrath said Sweeney’s partner underwent medical treatment during the trial and he has five children, one of whom is still in school.
