‘Off his head’ man fined for trespassing

A Kerryman who was “off his head” tried to barge his way past a Cork householder in the early hours of the morning in the mistaken belief that he was at someone else’s house.

The owner found it a very bad experience as a stranger tried to force his way into his home where his baby and daughter were asleep. The man’s wife arrived home during the incident and she too was upset by the experience, Inspector John Deasy said at Cork District Court.

Judge Aingil Ní Chondúin described it as, “a nasty, nasty experience for the home owner”.
