Probation for teen who threatened TD with petrol-bomb attack

A 14-year-old boy, who threatened Fine Gael TD and former Lord Mayor of Dublin Catherine Byrne that he would "petrol bomb her gaff" and "get her girls", has been released on probation for six months.

The Dublin South Central TD, who was elected to the Dáil on May 24 last and served as Lord Mayor of Dublin from 2005 to 2006, was subjected to a tirade of threats from the young boy after she left a community development meeting.
