Man accused of threatening to burn down Garda station

A MAN appeared in court yesterday after he allegedly threatened to set himself alight and burn down a Garda station in west Dublin.

It is thought to be the fourth such incident at Tallaght Garda Station, and comes nearly 10 years after Sergeant Andy Callinan tragically lost his life after a man set himself on fire at the station.

Paul Leonard, 27, from Fettercairn Road, Tallaght, was charged with endangerment and threatening to damage property.
