Man jailed for attack terrifying his parents

A district judge has jailed a man that forced his parents to barricade themselves into their bedroom to keep him away from them.

Shane McSweeney, aged 22, of Cork Simon community, denied the charge of breaching a barring order and claimed he was not at the house kicking the door in last Saturday night.

Shane McSweeney said he was drinking with friends and got his nose split open in a fight that night, and was nowhere near his parents’ house because he knew he was barred from their house.
