A "creative" Dublin youth who telephoned a hoax bomb threat to a Garda station demanding release from a holding cell, and that a republican prisoner be let out of jail, has received a two-month sentence.
The 17-year-old had been detained at Clontarf Garda station but sneaked a phone in with him and put on "a northern accent" when he made two 999 calls from inside a holding cell.
Judge Paul Kelly heard at Dublin Children's Court that the teen threatened to detonate one bomb at the station unless its prisoners were let out and another bomb at a shopping centre if "Whacker Duffy" was not released from Portlaoise Prison.
