‘No special status’ for Dundon trial witness

A Garda witness in the trial of two Limerick men accused of threatening to kill a mother and three of her children has denied that one of the complainants received “special status” after making the allegations.

Garda James Hourihan was addressing the trial of Wayne Dundon, aged 33, and John Dundon aged 29, who have denied multiple counts.

Wayne Dundon, of Lenihan Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, has pleaded not guilty to five counts relating to threatening to kill Alice Collins and her children, Gareth, Jimmy, and April, as well as two counts of obstructing the course of justice at addresses in Limerick City between Sept 2010 and Mar 2011.
