Judge orders tearaway teen to do housework

A 15-year-old Dublin boy, who went on the rampage in his home and punched a hole through a wall, was ordered by a judge today to do household chores, for the next six months.

The teen had pleaded guilty at the Children's Court to causing criminal damage at his south Dublin home on a date last May, when his mother had to call the gardaí over his unruly behaviour.
