Visitor to Cork asked gardaí where he could buy class A drugs

Intoxicated Swindon man tried to strike garda's face

The judge told the accused: 'This is no way to behave to gardaí trying to do their duty.'

A Swindon man visiting Cork approached two members of an Garda Síochána who were in full uniform and high-visibility jackets and asked them where he could get class A drugs in the city.

Garda Eugene Fitzgibbon and his colleague Garda Sinead Glanville were on duty at Washington Street in Cork shortly before midnight on Saturday, May 21, when 28-year-old Jordan Wingate approached them.
