A teenager who harassed and threatened to kill another teenager was released from custody on Tuesday so that he could sit his Leaving Cert, but with the strict warning not to contact the victim or her family or even to use social media for any purpose.

Judge Sinead Behan said she could not make it clearer for Rory Lally, saying: “If you contact this girl I will put you in jail.” The judge released the young man from custody and adjourned the case until June 30.
