Knock-out punch in row over queue at petrol pump

Garda John Paul Twomey testified at Cork District Court that the incident occurred at O’Reilly’s garage on Watercourse Rd in Cork.

Ian McDonald said he was queuing in the garage on February 20, 2015, at a time when all the pumps were occupied and the driver in front was sitting there without making any attempt to move on, despite the fact his passenger had come out of the shop and back to the car.
