A man who was stripped to the waist and acting aggressively in Cork City told gardaí: “Arrest me, you’d be doing me a favour.” Now at Cork District Court, 28-year-old William Condon has been jailed for two months for his outburst.

Defence solicitor Pat Horan asked Judge Olann Kelleher to note the comment that the young man made to gardaí on Anderson's St on the day of the incident.
