No jail time for grieving father who obstructed gardaí gathering horses

Gardaí were obstructed from gathering up horses in Cork but yesterday a 51-year-old man said his overreaction was because one of the horses was his last link with a son who had died a short time beforehand.

Danny Stokes, of Bay 6, St Anthony’s Park halting site, Hollyhill, Cork, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of obstructing Garda Shane Hannafin in his duty on May 8, 2018.
