Ireland Schoolboy pleaded guilty to Ballyfermot Garda car ramming, skips sentence hearing
In Dublin, a schoolboy who was 14 at the time pleaded guilty to 19 charges across six prosecutions covering incidents over nine months, including one on 19 September 2022 in Ballyfermot when two Toyota Aquas rammed a Garda car carrying two female gardaí three times. Detective Garda Michael McNulty said the officers had responded to a report of joyriders. The teen did not return home on the Tuesday night before his sentence hearing, skipped the hearing on 21 June 2023, and District Court President Judge Paul Kelly issued a bench warrant for gardaí to arrest him. The Director of Public Prosecutions has recommended that two co-defendants face trial in the Circuit Court, and the teen has yet to say how he will plead to two other charges.
