A man being tried on charges arising out of the firing of a shot through the front room window of a house in Cork City in May was questioned about a comment recovered from his phone where he allegedly said: “I’m packing well.”

Gavin Sheehan, aged 30, of 7 Laurel Ridge, Shanakiel, Cork, has pleaded not guilty at Cork Circuit Criminal Court to charges against him arising out of an incident on May 15.
