Busker was abusive towards gardaí

A busker making money at 3am in Cork city centre, with up to 60 people dancing on the street around him, took exception to the gardaí dispersing the crowd.

One of the buskers agreed to finish when gardaí told him. However, the drummer wanted to keep the rhythm going and became aggressive towards the guards.

Solicitor Emmet Boyle explained on behalf of the unhappy busker that when the music stops there is no more money to be made.
