Evan Toomey arrived at house after being called an ‘eejit’ on Facebook, judge hears
A 23-year old Ennis man armed with a hurley embarked on a cocaine-fuelled attack on another man that was sparked by an insult on Facebook, a court has heard.
Mr Toomey arrived at the home after Mr Moloney the previous day called Mr Toomey an “eejit” on Facebook, which resulted in more exchanges on Facebook. Det Garda Frank Browne said that he was only aware of threats made by Mr Toomey to the injured party. At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys said that Mr Toomey is a repeat offender and that is an aggravating factor in the case.In his interview with gardaí, Mr Toomey said: “I done the wrong thing going to his house. His mother was there – I regret it.”
