Brothers jailed following 'serious fracas' in Clondalkin 'with many people involved'

Thomas McDonagh suggested that he drove the vehicle at the Reilly family to “disperse them” and defend his own family.

A man who drove a jeep into the path of a neighbouring family who were involved in a fracas with his own family has been jailed for 12 months.

Thomas McDonagh (26) suggested that he drove the vehicle at the Reilly family to “disperse them” and defend his own family. The group managed to jump out of the way of the oncoming vehicle and while one person claimed they were clipped with the wing mirror, nobody was injured.
