Stephen MaguireA Co Donegal man found with a large cache of 'weapons' which later turned out to be mostly imitation firearms has been given a chance by a Judge. McNutt, of Glinsk, Kindrum in Fanad, was charged with ten offences, including that he had in his possession a realistic imitation firearm. Mr McGee explained how the accused man had started playing with 'airsoft' weapons during the COVID-19 lockdown. A number of the weapons in McNutt's possession were slighting over one Joule but he did not realise this, the court was told. Judge Aylmer adjourned the case until June 9th, 2026, adding that it is clear what he will then do if the accused behaves himself.
