Garda station attacker avoids jail

A man who took part in a “truly outrageous” attack on a garda station in Cork shortly before Christmas has avoided jail.

Thomas Douglas, aged 22, was one of two people who had been charged with criminal damage in relation to the incident at Dunmanway Garda Station on December 17 last, when two people wearing balaclavas and using an iron bar smashed a number of windows.
