A Dublin man is to be sentenced today for threatening to kill a woman and put her in the boot of his car.
Thomas McConnell of Dunemer Rise, Lusk made the threats to Louise Sheridan as she collected her son from school in August 2011.
The 28 year old has 82 previous convictions and was on bail at the time for having head shop drugs for sale or supply at his home.
He has since apologised to his victim and has received treatment for drug addiction ahead of today's sentencing.
