Cork judge has the book thrown at him

A Circuit Court judge had a book thrown at him in court yesterday by a disgruntled man who lost his appeal against a conviction for harassing a garda.

Michael Preator, of Wellington Rd, Cork, lost his appeal shortly after 3pm yesterday.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin was being told of a breach of an order made at Cork District Court when Preator was jailed for seven months.
