‘I hope you are proud of yourself going out with a Kerryman’

A 68-year-old man pleaded guilty yesterday to harassing a woman by phoning 150 times and leaving voicemails including some threats to kill her and her partner.

Tom Murray, of 10A Wellington Rd, Cork, said he was sorry for what he had done but Judge Con O’Leary questioned whether he had any insight or any real remorse.

In voicemails, Murray made threats to his ex and her new partner: “I will fucking give it to you and that Kerry man. How can you do that to me after all our time together?
