No bail for man on petrol bomb charges

A man charged with two offences as a result of a petrol bomb attack on a house which injured three children has been refused bail.

Gregory Hennessy, aged 23, of 66 Priory Lawn, Waterford, was before Waterford District Court for the second time yesterday in relation to his alleged involvement in the incident last Thursday.

He is charged with reckless endangerment by allegedly throwing a petrol bomb through a sitting room window at Ardmore Park, Waterford, “which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another,” and also with criminal damage.
