Drunk Corkman's 'shower of rats' salvo at gardaí gets him jail time

The man's solicitor said: “He unreservedly apologises for the wording he used to gardaí."

The judge imposed a five-day prison term for the intoxication and a two-month sentence for the threatening behaviour. File photo

Gardaí were verbally abused as nothing but “a shower of rats” by a man who then said he would petrol-bomb their homes.

The incident occurred on the evening of April 24 at Leitrim Street, Cork.
