Accused ‘gave up the drink on Christmas Day’

Gardaí objected to bail for Jason Murphy, formerly of Ballinure Place, Mahon, and now living at St Vincent’s hostel, Anglesea Tce, Cork.
His solicitor, Frank Buttimer, put it to Murphy that he gave gardaí the runaround and that three gardaí had to come to court yesterday to give evidence on how he was failing to comply with his bail conditions.
