Tue Jan 24 2023 - 14:05
A man has pleaded not guilty to sending Facebook messages threatening that the Russian embassy in Dublin would be “burned down”. Brian Murphy , of The Heights, Newcastle Manor, Newcastle, Dublin, is charged with offences under the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act. He faces four counts of sending threatening or grossly offensive communications via Facebook with intent to cause harm to the staff of the embassy on Orwell Road in Rathgar last March.
Defence counsel John Griffin told Judge Smyth that the defendant, who is currently on bail, would contest the case. Judge Smyth remanded Mr Murphy to appear again next month when the court will allocate a hearing date.
