Prisoner threatened warden's family when refused Big Mac

A Swords man who threatened to kill a prisoner officer and his children after being refused a McDonald's dinner has had his sentence adjourned by Judge Patricia Ryan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Paul O'Shea (aged 20), with addresses at Owensilla and at Silloge Avenue, Ballymun had played hurling for the Dublin minor team when he was 15 years old but that came to an end when he started taking tablets at 16.
