What happened there again?

As I remember it your man was walking his dog on the accused's land without permission and after words were exchanged he shot him with a pistol?

As I remember it your man was walking his dog on the accused's land without permission and after words were exchanged he shot him with a pistol?

Opening the prosecution’s case on Wednesday, Roisin Lacey SC, prosecuting, said the jury will hear evidence that on the day in question three men including Mr Conlon had trespassed on Mr Phelan's land while hunting foxes or badgers.

Ms Lacey said that Mr Phelan told gardaí he became concerned about a dog running loose on his land towards his sheep. When he got a view of the dog, he shot it with his Winchester rifle, whereupon, he said, three men immediately "exploded" from the wooded area and began threatening him.

The barrister said Mr Phelan and one of his farmworkers retreated back up a ravine to the green area, where there were another three workers.

The 12 jurors were also told by the State yesterday that Mr Phelan said he was shaking with fear and "scrambled" up a bank to get away but when the deceased man, Keith Conlon, and a second man kept coming he believed they were "coming to fulfil the threats they had made".

As they got closer, Mr Phelan said he reached for his Smith & Wesson revolver in his pocket and fired in the air over their heads but was "stunned when one man went down", the court has heard.

In fear of my life blah, blah, blah.


They were trespassing on his land. He should have iced the three of them, no witnesses to dispute his version of events.

You must move in the same circles as my husband .

Would this type of thing come under the same umbrella as the law that was passed after the Padraig Nally incident?

He's made it clear he retreated and they came after him again so I'd say he is golden.

The farmworkers backing up his story should swing it.

Those boyos had no business on his property. He will argue he retreated to avoid violence and he was in immediate fear of death or serious bodily harm.
