A bus driver told a young woman she was not allowed on a bus in Cork city during Covid restrictions last year because she was refusing to wear a mask but she reacted by spitting at the driver’s protective screen.

Sergeant John Kelleher outlined the background to two incidents involving offences committed by Emma Wallace who was living at Cork Simon Community at the time.
