A father of seven who told gardaí he thought he was attending a job interview but ended up taking part in a violent forced eviction has been jailed for three years. Desmond McGrath (50) was part of a gang of seven men, including convicted murderer Declan Duffy and INLA kidnapper Dessie O'Hare, also known as ‘The Border Fox’, who falsely imprisoned and tried to evict a family from their home. McGrath also took part in the assault of a security guard who became involved in the incident, punching and kicking the man. Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that five of the men involved, including O'Hare and Duffy, were convicted in the Special Criminal Court in 2019. The court heard that O'Hare and Duffy were “the ringleaders” of the events.
