Threat to kill garda during 10km car chase

Man said he’d bomb Kinsale so ‘there would be no Americans left’

A man sped away from gardaí for more than 10km, at one point performing a handbrake turn in the middle of the road and mounting the ditch to narrowly avoid pedestrians, it has emerged.

Roy Fehilly of Nohoval, Co Cork, was under the influence of cannabis as he evaded gardaí on the morning of August 28, during which time he also threatened to kill gardaí and to bomb the town of Kinsale. Yesterday he was jailed for the offences, and banned from driving.
