Drunk man arrested at Mass

Gardaí had to go to a Mass in Cork City to arrest a man who was so drunk he was a source of danger in the church.

Garda Marja Furphy responded to a call to St Augustine’s Church on Washington St at 8.30pm on Monday evening, August 17.

Yesterday, at Cork District Court, Garda Inspector Ronan Kenneally said that when Garda Furphy and her colleague arrived in St Augustine’s, they found Denis Hassett lying down in the back of the church.
