Man used phone camera to look under women’s skirts

A PARISIAN chef used the video camera on his phone to peek under women’s skirts as they browsed in a clothes shop.

Pierre Marechal, aged 53, with a rental address at Mount Carmel, Coast Road, Oranmore, Galway, pleaded guilty yesterday before Galway District Court to breaching the peace by engaging in threatening, abusive and insulting behaviour at Penneys, Eyre Square, Galway, on April 14 last year.

Inspector Ernie White told the court that staff became concerned when they noticed Marechal hanging around the store and acting suspiciously on several occasions over a two- month period.
