A homeless man who was jailed last month for digging up paving slabs around Cork city centre and leaving cut flowers in the holes has got another prison term for spray-painting graffiti referring to rapists on a hoarding.

Eric Geaney wrote the words, “Is this place really full of rapists?” on the hoarding around a site on a laneway in Cork city centre.
