Man accused of brandishing axe at gardaí, telling them: 'Come up here and I'll take your head off'
Gardaí dealing with a report of domestic violence at a family home encountered a man brandishing an axe at the top of the stairs, threatening gardaí he would take their heads off if they came upstairs. These allegations were made on Thursday at an in camera hearing of Cork District Court, where the 30-year-old man was charged with two counts under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act on Wednesday night, July 16. One count relates to an axe, the other to a knife. Garda David Kiely objected to bail being granted to the man. Garda Kiely testified that after 8pm on July 16, gardaí responded to a call from a woman that her adult son was causing a disturbance at the family home and they wished gardaí to speak with him. 'Gardaí entered the residence with permission and were met with [the defendant] at the top of the stairs brandishing an axe and threatening gardaí. 'He waved the axe towards gardaí and stated: 'Come up here and I'll take your head off… Come and see what I'll do to you… You're nothing but a useless c***'. 'A standoff continued until the intervention of the Armed Support Unit, where the accused surrendered to gardaí.' Frank Buttimer, defence solicitor, said members of his client's family had approached him since Wednesday night to indicate they did not want the accused man remanded in custody and the best course would be to have him at home and in compliance with directions from mental health services. Judge William Aylmer granted bail on strict conditions, including he would have only respectful communications with his parents and not put them in fear, be of good behaviour at the family home, advise gardaí if changing address, engage with mental health services, be of sober habits, sign on once a week at his local Garda station, abstain from intoxicants and not take unprescribed medications. The accused was remanded on that bail until July 30.

I'd question John Kiely's approach to Munster and All-Ireland with Limerick – and whether he will be manager in 2026
COULD this be the end for John Kiely in Limerick? He has been there for the last eight years and has masterminded five All-Ireland wins between 2018 and 2023.

Limerick told there's more left in current team as John Kiely verdict given
Graeme Mulcahy reckons Limerick's core leaders are still at their peak — and '100 per cent' expects the John Kiely/Paul Kinnerk axis to stay on. Five-time All-Ireland winner Mulcahy's comments come in the wake of Limerick's shock All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to 14-man Dublin. Kiely agreed a two-year extension to take him up to the end of the 2026 season, which would be his 10th in charge. Under Kiely, Limerick have landed five All-Ireland titles and six Munsters. Declan Hannon, skipper for all of those wins, may elect to stand aside – and if he does Mulcahy says he would be a massive loss. The majority of Limerick's main leaders, bar goalie Nickie Quaid, are still below 30. 'There's more left in this Limerick team, certainly,' said Mulcahy, who retired last season. 'The core group still have another two or three years at their peak. A lot of the team are only 29-30. 'You're right at your prime, really, around 29, 30. Obviously they have a lot of miles on the clock but I certainly see more for this Limerick team in the next couple of years. 'They (Kiely, above, and Kinnerk) had a two-year extension last year, so I think they'll go back again. Obviously, it hasn't been a successful two years. 'We won Munster last year. I think they've been building quietly. There's a lot of players that have come through the last two years – Aidan O'Connor, Adam English has come to the fore now. 'You have Shane O'Brien. You have a few more, like Colin Coughlin, who had a very good league campaign. I was surprised not to see him, maybe more, in the Championship. 'They have a lot of young talent coming through and they'll look to hopefully try and build on that experience that those guys have gained. I'd expect 100 per cent to see them back.'
