A MAN who was ordered to climb Croagh Patrick for verbally abusing two gardaí has raised almost €3,000 for charity after completing the hike with 13 friends. Joseph McElwee was ordered to climb the mountain in Co Mayo by Judge Séamus Hughes after being found guilty of threatening and abusing gardaí while drunk in Donegal on March 28th. McElwee, a father of two children, came out of a pub in the seaside town of Rathmullan and launched into a verbal tirade against gardaí which lasted more than 10 minutes.
During the abuse he called Garda Nicholas Freyne a "Mayo w****r" and told him to "f*** off back to Mayo". Judge Hughes, who is himself a native of Mayo, ordered McElwee to do four stations of the famous mountain as a mark of respect for his fellow Irish people, especially those in the line of duty.
