A 24-year-old man who jumped the counter of Smyth’s Toys in Cork City one day last summer and kicked in the side of a car in a row with the driver on the same day said yesterday he was traumatised by the death of a cousin in Paris.

Manuel Ulian of Croaghtamore Gardens, Pouladuff Road, Cork, pleaded guilty to a range of crimes yesterday at Cork District Court. Some were committed last June. Others dated back to 2015.
