Mother put in fear after son’s drinking

Gardaí objected to bail being granted yesterday to a 22-year-old with mental health issues who put his mother in fear after he had been drinking. Garda Danielle Porter testified at Cork District Court yesterday that the accused was on bail on a charge of breaching the safety order when he breached it again on Thursday night, March 7.

The defendant’s mother said her son had a problem with alcohol and underlying mental health issues. It was alleged that the young man would get violent and aggressive after drink and would scream and roar at his mother and run at her and that it became a very chaotic situation and that he would also destroy property.
