Six months for throwing flowerpot through window

A six-month jail term was imposed yesterday on a man who flew into a rage and threw a flowerpot through a neighbour’s window.

When Joseph O’Sullivan, aged 30, was brought to court on January 4 on this charge of causing criminal damage at the neighbour’s house in Woodview, Carrigaline, Co Cork, he denied the charge.

He also told Judge Olann Kelleher on that day he was not intoxicated despite the judge’s concerns that the accused appeared to be under the influence while in court.
