Footballer catches flying chair in court

Aidan O’Mahony, a garda and a footballer for Kerry, had to use quick reflexes yesterday to catch a chair hurled through the air at Cork District Court.

Garda O’Mahony had to grab the flying chair in courtroom 1, where he was attending in the course of his duties keeping order in the courthouse.

Jason Landy, aged 25, was sitting on one of three chairs in the custodial section of the court.
