Man angry at juvenile delinquency chases youths with chainsaw
A man who was so frustrated with juvenile delinquency in his neighbourhood that he tried to scare off some youths with a chainsaw has been ordered to carry out work in the community in lieu of a jail sentence.
Patrick Mulligan (aged 50), a bus driver for children with special needs, was still holding the running chainsaw in his driveway when gardaí arrived and he waved it in the direction of garda Colin Noonan and two of his colleagues.
