A Dublin man has admitted having a shotgun during an attack on travellers two years ago.
Thomas Bacon (32), of Laurel Avenue, Ballybrack, pleaded guilty in Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to unlawful possession of a shotgun at Leopardstown Road, Dublin, on April 8th, 1996.
He also admitted causing criminal damage to a caravan and a van owned by two travellers on the same date.
