“A classic case of city thuggery” was how a sentencing judge yesterday described the actions of two thieves.

Two young men who were attacked and robbed in Cork City centre were terrified of being thrown into the river and yesterday one of the attackers was jailed for two years.

An man has pleaded guilty to using threatening, abusive, or insulting language where he was described as verbally abusing a non-national on Barrack St, Cork.
