Farmer 'scared the living daylights' out of school kids making them cry after calling them 'retards'

A farmer who ‘lost the plot’ reduced Steiner primary school children on a St Brigid’s Day nature walk to tears after calling them ‘retards’, a court has heard.

At Killaloe District Court sitting in Ennis, Judge Mary Larkin said that Breda Moloney (66) “scared the living daylights out of a bunch of people who did her no wrong” at Ballymalone, Tuamgraney in east Clare on January 28th 2022.

Judge Larkin said: “These children were completely innocent… I have never heard of anyone being subjected to this kind of abuse because of someone's inherent resentment and anger.”
