A DUBLIN MAN accused of possessing a loaded handgun allegedly sent his ex-partner a photo of the firearm and a threat via text message, a court has heard. Ennis was refused bail on Monday by Judge John Brennan at Dublin District Court which heard the accused was caught “red-handed”. Swords Garda Detective Unit opened an investigation following a complaint from the woman a day before the handgun seizure. Detective Garda Anthony Cagney told Judge Brennan that the accused “made no reply” to the Firearms Act charge, which on conviction can carry a 14-year sentence. Ennis also pointed out that there was no photo evidence before the court and described the detective’s evidence, as “All lies, all hearsay”.
