Former court clerk loses conviction appeal

A former court clerk fined for threatening to kill a man he thought was having an affair with his wife has lost an appeal against his conviction.

Father of four Ciaran Waldron, aged 59, of Riverview, Buncrana, Co Donegal, had found his now ex-wife sitting in a car by the local seaside with another man on August 7, 2006.

He had pleaded not guilty at Letterkenny Circuit Criminal Court to reckless endangerment by driving his vehicle deliberately at Christine O’Kane and Anthony McColgan and threatening to kill Mr McColgan in Buncrana on that date.
