Man claiming he was denied access to his children threatened to burn family home

 A 29-year-old man who felt he was being denied access to his children arrived at his ex-partner’s house at around three o’clock in the morning banging on the door. He later made a video of himself on social media threatening to burn down the house with them in it.

This was the threat made by a man whose case was dealt with at an in-camera hearing of Cork District Court where the accused confessed to making the threat and breaching a protection order by putting his ex-partner in fear on the occasion.
