‘No court can tolerate attack on gardaí’, says judge

No court can tolerate an assault on gardaí, a District Court judge warned.

A 21-year-old man who assaulted two gardaí in a “nasty” manner in Kenmare garda station last April has been handed down two convictions.

The apprentice plumber who — the court was told would like to travel — is lucky not to be spending months in jail, Judge James O’Connor said at Cahersiveen District Court.
