Man is jailed for threatening to burn down business owner’s home

A man who threatened to burn down a business owner’s house if he did not give €58,000 to his godfather has been jailed for 4½ years.

Det Garda Michael McCallion told Philip Rahn BL, prosecuting, that the owner of Spring Valley Meats based in the industrial estate in Coolock had previously subletted part of his premises to a man in October 2016. The business owner later received a phone call from Redmond who told him his “gaff” would be burnt down with his “mot” inside it. He called the victim three more times, but the victim did not answer.Redmond sent a text saying that he had tried to do things “the easy way”, that the victim owed his godfather and that if he wanted to know who he was dealing with he should “check the last six Sunday Worlds”.
