Neighbour: Nally was demented with fear

The neighbour of Co Mayo farmer Padraig Nally, who is on trial for the manslaughter of a Traveller, has claimed the accused was “demented with fear” about attacks on his property.

Michael Varley said he had known Mr Nally for as long as he had lived in the area, and that Mr Nally had lived at the farm with his parents until they recently passed away.
