A case involving a Tralee teenager and the online racial abuse of former Arsenal footballer Ian Wright is to come back before Tralee District Court this morning.
18-year-old Patrick O’Brien of 8 Sycamore Court, Ashleigh Downs, Tralee has pleaded guilty to two charges, arising from the harassment of the former player.
Tralee District Court last year heard that Mr O’Brien sent a string of up to 20 messages, which were “crass, racist and threatening.”

Mr Wright has since said he forgives the teenager who harassed him.
Mr O Brien, who is represented by solicitor Pat Mann, is expected to be sentenced today.
