Cork teenager who threatened to kill another released from custody to sit his Leaving Cert
A teenager who harassed and threatened to kill another teenager was released from custody on Tuesday so that he could sit his Leaving Cert, but with the strict warning not to contact the victim or her family or even to use social media for any purpose. Judge Sinead Behan said she could not make it clearer for Rory Lally, saying: 'If you contact this girl I will put you in jail.' The judge released the young man from custody and adjourned the case until June 30. 'If you contact this girl or her family, the guards are going to bring you back in and I am going to send you to jail,' Judge Behan said. Elaine Audley, defence barrister, said he would need access to the internet for study purposes to prepare for the Leaving Cert. The judge said he could have such access supervised by his father or other appropriate adult. Detective Sergeant Pat Lyons said the defendant's family were very supportive and did their best by him. Ms Audley said the young man was prescribed medication as a result of an autism diagnosis but that one of the medicines was replaced with a generic version which had an adverse effect on him. Ms Audley raised this in the context of four communications which the accused had by phone with the victim and her father in the weeks following his release from a sentence for harassment. That breach in the conditions of a suspended portion of his sentence resulted in him spending the last few weeks back in jail until his release on Tuesday. In one text he said: 'I'm out now and I'm coming for you'. Now aged 20, Rory Lally of Wainsfort, Rochestown, Cork, originally got a sentence of two years, the second year being suspended on condition that he would not contact the victim directly or indirectly. Rory Lally got into the witness box at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Tuesday and said: 'I guarantee everyone I won't be in this situation again. 1. I don't want to do it to her (the victim). 2. I cannot do any more prison.' Harassment Last year he pleaded guilty to harassment of the teenager when she was 17 and he was approximately a year older. Det. Garda Pat Connery said the injured party started communicating with Rory Lally on social media in April 2023 and in June 2023 they met at a concert in Cork. However, she felt uncomfortable with him at the concert and soon afterwards told him by phone to stop calling her. She went on to block him on social media. He ignored this and continued to contact her causing her such concern that she contacted gardaí in July 2023 and they contacted him and told him to desist. The messaging continued. She complained to gardaí again in October and they approached him once more and told him to stop contacting her. By November 2023, Rory Lally was telling her he did not care if she contacted gardaí and that he would do life in prison. She contacted the guards again in December and he sent voice messages threatening to kill her. Det. Garda Connery went to the young man's home: 'I told him I was investigating the complaint against him. While I was in the house he sent further threatening messages to her. 'He said he was obsessed with the injured party. He admitted sending her messages. He said he would not physically harm her. He had to be brought before a special sitting of Cork District Court on Christmas Eve.'

London pub snacks: ten of the best bar menus to eat with your Guinness
Few pubs offer a better bar menu than the Audley in Mayfair. There below the mad ceiling is a chalked up board that never tires, which always brings promise. It was early to the re-emergence of half-pints of prawns and bowls of sausages with chips, a necessity in boozers but strangely lacking this side of the Irish sea. Take note too of the London rarebit, the crab on toast and the lamb scrumpets (leftover lamb shredded, breadcrumbed and deep-fried), both of which should be sustenance enough to keep drinking. The scotch egg is among the best around: fatty, salty pork, a soft-boiled egg with a jammy yolk but not a stupidly runny one for Instagram, and golden breadcrumbs.
