A Health board social worker has told a jury that a Dublin man threatened to blow her head off.
The jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court also heard another health board careworker allege that the accused told her some months earlier he would take matters into his own hands and blow her colleague's head off.
The jury was told the 64-yearold accused made secret video recordings of his interviews with health board personnel, including one from a camera hidden in a pram. Part of one video has been shown in court. The accused, with an address in Rialto, who also had an address in Clondalkin, is pleading not guilty to threatening on December 3rd, 1998 to kill an Eastern Health Board official and intending her to believe that the threat would be carried out.
He also pleads not guilty to a second charge of making a threat to one of her colleagues on September 23, 1998 that he would kill the EHB official.
Judge Dominic Lynch made an order prohibiting publication of the accused's identity.
The trial continues.
