Company Sergeant who told corporal ‘I will kill you’ during row at social event fined €5,000

CS Fisher, a 54-year-old father of three who has served in the Defence Forces for 37 years, had admitted three charges of conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, contrary to section 168 of the Defence Act.

CS Fisher, attached to the 28th Infantry Battalion, originally pleaded not guilty to five offences including a threat to kill contrary to section 5 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997. His trial was halted on its second day after he changed his plea and he was re-arraigned on the three section 168 charges, which he admitted. The Director of Military Prosecutions agreed to drop the charge of threatening to kill and another one of drunkenness.

The aggravating factors included CS Fisher’s rank, his being a sergeant of long service in the Defence Forces in 2017 who knew the standards of conduct and discipline. His offences included articulating a threat to Cpl McLoughlin to kill him, such that another NCO felt he had to intervene and force the CS to the ground. As the CS was someone with considerable experience of firearms, the words used could well carry more weight.
