Dubliner posted a bullet through woman’s letterbox

A DUBLIN man who posted a bullet through a woman’s letterbox and admitted storing a firearm on behalf of the Real IRA has been given a suspended sentence.

Greg Doyle, aged 33, of Cushlawn Drive, Tallaght, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the illegal possession of a firearm and making a threat to kill on August 19, 2010, at addresses in the Tallaght area.

Garda Michael McHugh of Tallaght Garda Station agreed with defence counsel Bernard Condon that Doyle had posted the bullet through the woman’s letterbox in a case of mistaken identity.
