Man pleads guilty of threatening to kill woman

A MAN has pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening to kill the sister of murdered Limerick man Roy Collins.

However, Stephen O’Reilly (23), 4 Elmworth Court, Belhavel, Athlone, denies that he threatened to rape and slit the throat of Leanne Collins who was a hairdressing student in Athlone last year.

Mullingar Circuit Court heard how O’Reilly admitted telling Ms Collins that Limerick’s gangland figure Wayne Dundon would give him “good money” for killing her, but said he didn’t know Dundon.
