A 52-year-old man who had too much to drink on a night out at the end of lockdown told a garda he would have his job with one phone call and asked if he realised how many gardaí and judges he knew.

Donagh Callanan, 52, of Toames West, Macroom, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to three public order charges arising out of the incident, namely resisting Garda Thomas McKenna in the course of his duty, engaging in threatening words or behaviour and being drunk and a source of danger to himself or others.
