Five men have been convicted for offences spread over three incidents on one weekend, and all in the context of what a court was told was a “long-standing feud” between two related families. Williamson was later assaulted by Dylan O’Driscoll, his brother, Kenneth O’Driscoll, and their uncle, John O’Driscoll, on Pearse St in the town. Dylan O’Driscoll pleaded guilty at Clonakilty District Court to assaulting the minor and to later assaulting Williamson. The judge said he was “a little disappointed to hear of a feud” and added that the court operated an “equality policy”. He remanded all five men to appear again before him on June 4 to deliver penalty and ordered probation reports be prepared for that date.
