A teenage boy is to face a Circuit Court trial after a semi-automatic handgun that was 'fully loaded and ready for use' was found under his bed

A teenage boy is to face a Circuit Court trial after a semi-automatic handgun that was "fully loaded and ready for use" was found under his bed.

The boy, who was accompanied to court by his parents and his barrister, was ordered to appear again in six weeks to be served with a book of evidence. He said the Walther PPQ was a semi-automatic pistol, and "when you press the trigger once in this gun, it keeps firing". Defence counsel Beatrice Vance, instructed by solicitor Michael French, put it to the garda that when the boy's home was entered, the teen very quickly said he had something to show him.Garda McNally said that was correct and the teen did not resist.He agreed with the barrister that the boy told gardaí he had been put under pressure to take the gun and "did not feel like he had any options".He also indicated he was relieved when gardaí came.
