Court hears Cork man wrote 'informer' on neighbour's car after planning dispute over shed

A 74-year-old man harassed his neighbour by blocking a sewer pipe, writing abusive letters and pasting the word informer on his car when the victim queried his planning permission for converting a shed into apartments.

Seán Butler of Little Silver, Lehenaghmore, Cork, admitted the harassment and was before Cork District Court for sentencing yesterday.
