Man called gardaí to remove his friend

A man had to call gardaí to his home in the afternoon because his friend had become drunk and aggressive and was refusing to leave. Sergeant Eamon Feehan gave evidence yesterday at Cork Circuit Appeals Court where Roy Miller of 3 Peacock Row, North Monastery Road, Cork, appealed the severity of a three-month jail sentence.

Judge Brian O’Callaghan said Miller’s action was appalling in that he kicked out aggressively at a guard. The judge said that far from being severe, the three-month jail term imposed at Cork District Court was lenient. Judge O’Callaghan struck out the appeal.
