Man, 65, who ‘threatened to burn home’ is refused bail

A 65-year-old man accused of breaching an order by threatening to burn down the family home was refused bail yesterday.

John Wall, of 7 Belmont Court, Rochestown, Cork, denied evidence that he threatened to murder anyone or threatened arson of the family home, or that he was intoxicated.

“I had one can of lager, when I was making the dinner,” John Wall said during his unsuccessful bail application.
