Family feels in danger over son’s threats

A distraught father told a court yesterday that he has changed addresses five times in the past year and a half to protect himself from his son.

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Paul Taylor, in a victim impact statement, told the court the ordeal that the family is going through as a result of the actions of Rowan Taylor “can only be described as a perpetual nightmare, without the relief from waking from it”.

Paul Taylor added that the family “grieve as though Rowan had died and yet cannot afford to feel bereaved in the normal way because of the threat he still poses to us”.
