Patient told dentist ‘he had bullet for his head’

A dentist felt his life was at risk after a patient told him that he had a bullet for his head, a court has heard.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Dr Tony Cotgreave said in May 2012, Eoin Hannan told him in the reception area of his surgery: “I have a bullet for your head, do you understand?’

“He then repeated: ‘I have a bullet for your head, do you understand that?’ and I said, ‘yes, I do’ and tried to appease him.”
