A MAN has been sent for trial accused of threatening gardai with an angle grinder when they came to investigate damage to a motorway toll gantry.

Tony Rochford (49) allegedly brandished the angle grinder, told gardai: “the time for talking is over”, switched it on and ran it “aggressively” in front of them.
