Architect denies harassing his neighbours

An architect denied harassing neighbours when they built an extension to their home by playing music so loud it was like an earthquake, staring at them, or kicking a football repeatedly against a wall.

David Mulligan pleaded not guilty to harassing John and Gwenda Hughes between June 1, 2012, and March 13, 2014.

Mr Mulligan, aged 38, told gardaí: “They have threatened to kill my family pet.”
