Mr Simon Quilligan, aged 51 years, of Carraig Rua, Nenagh, Co Tipperary, was charged with causing criminal damage to a Garda patrol car, possession of a slash hook, and three public order offences.
His son Mr Shane Quilligan, aged 26 years, of the same address was charged with producing a wooden stick and attempting to assault a member of An Garda Síochána, and two other public order offences.

She remanded Mr Simon Quilligan, Mr Martin Harty, and Mr James Sheehan on strict bail terms, while excusing their court attendance on Wednesday April 8th, due to the current government guidelines in place, regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.
