Man jailed for spate of Cork city incidents

A man wearing a wig jumped on the counter of a Ticketmaster outlet in Cork before doing an about-turn and fleeing with nothing.

Philip Murphy, aged 48, of 53 Orchard Court, Blackpool, Cork, was jailed for eight months yesterday for this and other crimes carried out recently in Cork city centre.

As Judge Olann Kelleher was summarising the evidence against Murphy prior to sentencing, he referred to the incident at Ticketmaster.
