Son of murder victim Jason Hennessy Snr jailed for ‘squaring up' to armed gardai
The father-of-four admitted offences including violent disorder, dangerous driving and obstructing a garda drug search One of the sons of steakhouse murder victim Jason Hennessy Snr has been jailed for six months for a series of crimes after a court heard he became violent in a garda station cell, roaring: 'you'll have to drag me out.' Jason Hennessy Jnr (28) also 'squared up' to armed gardai who came to his west Dublin home with a warrant, shouting: 'you won't be searching this house.' Hennessy was sentenced at Blanchardstown District Court after he pleaded guilty to 15 charges brought for a litany of offences over a three-year period. The father-of-four admitted offences including violent disorder, dangerous driving and obstructing a garda drug search. Judge Catherine Hayden also banned him from driving for two years. Sergeant Ian Abbey told the court the incidents happened on dates between 2019 and 2022. He said gardai went with the armed support unit to Hennessy's home at Sheephill Avenue, Blanchardstown with a search warrant on May 18, 2019. Hennessy resisted the search and had to be restrained. He stood up and shouted abuse at the gardai, telling one to 'f**k off' and 'you won't be searching this house.' Jason Hennessy Jnr is on remand News in 90 Seconds - May 30th The garda told him to sit down, but Jason Hennessy stood and squared up to the garda, 'entered his personal space' and placed his head up to the officer's head. Gardai were engaged in a covert operation in relation to 'suspected criminal activity' in west Dublin on June 23, 2019 when they saw a blue Saab being driven by Hennessy, with passengers, followed by another vehicle. The Saab went through a red light at a junction at Blakestown Road. Armed support were called and the Saab turned back toward the direction of the gardai, travelling towards them. Hennessy drove back through the junction at high speed and on the wrong side of the road. Hennessy was arrested for threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour at Aldi, Mulhuddart village on July 19, 2019. Four days later, he was at Blanchardstown District when he called a garda a 'f**king tramp.' He was caught speeding at 93kph in a 60kph zone on Jan 23, 2020 and parking on a footpath on February 15. The following April 3 on Castlecurragh Road, Mulhuddart, Hennessy was stopped driving a Volkswagen Passat and had a child without a seatbelt in the back seat. Gardai stopped and searched Hennessy when they saw him among a group of men acting suspiciously outside the San Marino takeaway at Laurel Lodge shopping centre on May 8, 2020. When a phone was retrieved from his pocket, Hennessy became aggressive and threw it on the ground, breaking it. He became violent and had to be restrained and arrested for obstruction. While detained at Blanchardstown garda station the following June 22, a jailer carried out a routine check on Hennessy in his cell at 1am. Hennessy said 'you're a blond muppet, turn off the light.' He became very aggressive, and used a paper cup to throw water from the toilet, shouting at the garda, 'do you want water, you will have to drag me out'. He began throwing litter from his meal and was violent as he was removed from the cell, which had to be cleaned. When stopped driving at Corduff shops on February 5, 2022, Hennessy told the garda: 'You will do well in prison, you little faggot.' Hennessy, who had passengers in his car, was aggressive and made 'hand gestures' while children were nearby. He was already in custody when he came before the court. Defence solicitor Tertius Van Eeden said the violence in the case was at the 'low end of the scale.' Hennessy was now 'doing well in prison,' working out and 'keeping his head down.' He was 'in a good place mentally' now, considering the fact his father was 'brutally murdered in a Christmas Eve shooting in 2023,' Mr Van Eeden said. Hennessy had 15 previous convictions for offences including assault and violent disorder.

Manly must overcome grim statistic to beat Broncos
Manly will need to overcome a grim statistic to defeat Brisbane, with the Sea Eagles winless when they are without both Tom Trbojevic and Jason Saab. Coach Anthony Seibold confirmed on Friday morning illness had forced Saab into a casualty ward also featuring Trbojevic (quad), Siua Taukeiaho (calf), Jake Trbojevic (concussion) and Taniela Paseka (Achilles). The Sea Eagles will wait until game day to determine whether captain Daly Cherry-Evans backs up from State of Origin duty on Saturday night, with Jake Arthur on stand-by to play halfback. Manly have lost all nine games when both Saab and Trbojevic have not played since winger Saab's arrival from St George Illawarra in 2021, most recently falling to Cronulla in round six. They lost to Saturday night's opponent Brisbane without the duo last season before falling to the Sharks in a big round-27 loss. Trbojevic and Saab offer creative flair and pace out wide, the ability to start sets strongly out of yardage and are both aerial targets for Cherry-Evans' kicks close to the tryline. Clayton Faulalo looks set to replace Saab after originally being listed as 18th player for ninth-placed Manly. "We've had a bit of illness go around the group. Unfortunately we lost Benny Trbojevic to illness last week and we've lost Saaby to illness this week," Seibold said. Veteran forward Jake Trbojevic is tracking to return from an extended concussion lay-off to face Newcastle next Thursday and will likely be joined by Saab and Taukeiaho. The Broncos game may be the only one Tom Trbojevic misses, with the fullback set to take on light duties at Friday's captain's run as Seibold downplays his latest injury. "If it was a Sunday game (next weekend), it'd be 100 per cent certain that he'd play (against the Knights)," Seibold said. Seibold admitted it had been frustrating for Trbojevic that short-term injuries had impacted his availability for a hot-and-cold Manly side desperately in need of his guidance. The clash with Brisbane looms as especially crucial as Manly hope to bounce back from a demoralising loss to depleted cellar-dwellers Parramatta last week. "As important as this game is, we're not even halfway through the season yet. That's why we've been conservative with Turbo," Seibold said. "(The injuries) are frustrating for him because he's such a good pro. "This is the most minor injury or niggle but we need to look after him." Seibold heaped praise on Trbojevic's understudy Lehi Hopoate, who has lined up at fullback four times already this season. "We're a better side with 'Turbo' in, there's no doubt about that. But Lehi's been our most consistent player all season," Seibold said. "Whenever we've moved Lehi to fullback, he's done a really good job."

Saab, CAE to work jointly on training for Royal Canadian Navy's new submarine fleet
OTTAWA - Swedish defence manufacturer Saab and Canadian tech company CAE Inc. say they will work together to create training simulators for the Royal Canadian Navy's next submarine fleet. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on the initiative on Thursday, the last day of the CANSEC defence industry trade show in Ottawa. Ottawa plans to purchase up to a dozen new conventional submarines for the RCN to replace the rapidly aging Victoria class, and has said it expects to award a contract by 2028. Saab is a heavy equipment maker that has expertise in Arctic submarine technology, while CAE is known for its submarine detection software and naval and flight simulators. Canada has come under heavy international pressure to spend more on defence to meet its NATO commitments. Senior government officials have suggested that purchasing the new subs could push Canada past the NATO spending target the country has long struggled to meet. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 29, 2025.
