‘Long-standing feud’ results in convictions for five men

Five men have been convicted for offences spread over three incidents on one weekend, and all in the context of what a court was told was a “long-standing feud” between two related families.

In what a Garda Inspector described as “a play in three acts”, Dylan O’Driscoll, aged 19, of 84 Tawnies Crescent, Clonakilty, Co Cork, assaulted his cousin, a minor, on a school GAA pitch behind the local community college on September 1, 2018.
