Boston policeman finds himself on busman’s holiday, court hears

A Boston policeman found himself on something of a busman’s holiday as he chased and detained a man who allegedly threw a brick at a passing car and head-butted a man working at a restaurant in Cork City.

The case against Darren Foley, aged 40, of 3 Riverbank, Curraheen Rd, Cork, was put back for a month for prosecution statements to be sent to defence solicitor Frank Buttimer.

It will then be a matter for Mr Foley to decide if he is pleading guilty or not guilty.
