Cork survivor of Paris attacks criticises comedian’s phone ban

A Corkman who was shot during the Paris terror attacks has spoken about how having access to a mobile phone saved lives on the night.

His comments come after comedian Chris Rock announced his 3Arena gig later this month will be Ireland’s first strictly phone free event. Everyone attending will have to place their phone in a bespoke Yondr Pouch, which can only be unlocked in the lobby, for the duration of the show.
