'Vile' verbal abuse of female garda sees Cork man jailed

The defendant told a garda that no female garda would arrest him, and he would give her a reason to do so.

An eight-month jail term was imposed on a man today for crimes including the verbal abuse of a garda, telling her that no female guard would arrest him, and that he would give her a reason to do so.

Judge Olann Kelleher referred to this as vile abuse at Cork District Court as he sentenced 29-year-old Anthony Foley at Cork District Court.
