A man who attempted to poison a coworker with a lethal chemical element after he heard of the substance on a show called 'Unsolved Crimes' was jailed for a year today.
Detective Garda Cormac Ryan told the court that Mr Lynch had put a unknown quantity of the substance on the car handle of Mr Sheehan’s car at his place of work. Det Garda Ryan said that when Lynch was arrested he directed gardai to Ballinaclash Woods, 10 minutes from his home. He said that Lynch hadn’t come to garda attention since the day of his arrest. He has two previous convictions for drugs offences dating back 20 years.
He said the offence stemmed from a “delusion” of Lynch’s that Sheehan had interfered with a truck pallet and his work desk. He spoke of the poisoning being an “immature” act. "When I realised the seriousness of what was happening, it was too late. I feel that both my supervisor and my manager handled this badly.
"I continue to take medication which I hoped I could be finished with. I also need medication to help me sleep. I have developed severe heart burn. He added that the case had had a detrimental impact on his home and work life. He estimates that it has cost him in the region of €6,000 in lost overtime and counselling costs.
