Boy, 15, in court over Limerick tiger kidnap attempt

A 15-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a botched tiger kidnapping in Co Limerick.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Limerick Children's Court, charged with the false imprisonment of Stephen Cusack from Garryowen.

Mr Cusack - whose family runs a post office - and another man, were kidnapped by a gang from a house in Castletroy last Sunday night.
