Man jumped out Limerick Garda station window in a ‘panic’

Gerard McCarthy, aged 23, of Sexton St North, Thomondgate, Limerick, admitted at Limerick Circuit Court to escaping from lawful custody and causing criminal damage to the garda station.
He was having a private consultation with his solicitor John Devane when “he opted for a panic action while under the influence of drugs”, to leap out the window he had forced open in the room.
