Charge ‘went in one ear and out other’

A man who threatened gardaí that he would find where they lived and get them was asked if he had a formal reply when charged with the offence and he said, “in one ear, out the other”.

Garda Sheena Dowling encountered Tommy O’Brien, aged 26, of Gateway, Leitrim St, Cork, lying on the ground at Western Rd, Cork, in the middle of the afternoon.

A passerby who was concerned about his condition had called for an ambulance.
