Jail for man who flicked the cap of garda on beat patrol

A Dungarvan man who flicked the uniform cap of a member of An Garda Síochána was jailed for two months yesterday for this and related offences.

Nicholas Veale, aged 33, of Cluain Garbháin, Dungarvan, Co Waterford, pleaded guilty to a number of public order charges arising out of two incidents.

Inspector John Deasy said Garda Timothy O’Sullivan was on beat patrol at Parnell Place, Cork, on the afternoon of January 31 last year.
