>Mr McInerney said Meaney said his client was a hard working man who was well regarded in his local community.
Well regarded, as he throws bricks through windows and threatens a pensioner with a knife. Says a lot about that community in Clare.
Sounds pretty regarded to me
Landlord’s 39, tenant’s 75. Wanted him out cos he was back from travelling (so, absentee landlord) and wanted to live there himself. The tenant was so shaken he’s moved out of the area altogether.

So he got in his car, drove all the way to the house, got out, threw bricks through the window and then came in the door and started threatening the tenant.
That’s a pretty long “moment of madness” if you ask me.
Lol this reminds me when someone on this sub got mad at me for calling landlords leachers off society that’ll do anything but put the tenant first
No winners in this.
One one hand you have a pensioner facing that.
On the other, a man wanting to live in his own house had to resort to damaging it to try and get it back.
“For renovations”.
This happened three years ago – even before the worst of the housing crisis. Crazy it has taken this long, wonder why
There was a guard in Dublin a few years ago, had tenants in and tried to get rid of them, he and his son smashed all the windows of the property
