“Put a bullet in me,” a motorist said over and over to gardaí as he revved the engine of his car on the green in a residential area and refused to get out.

Judge Olann Kelleher was only dealing with one aspect of this case at Cork District Court today – namely two counts of dangerous driving – and he imposed a five-month prison sentence and 10-year driving ban on 47-year-old Warren Cross of Gleann Aras View, Grenagh, County Cork.
