Cork man ignored gardaí's instructions to confront his ex-partner

A court heard the defendant Ciaran Hegarty was upstairs in a bedroom of the woman’s house in a drunken condition, and would not leave when she asked him to go.

Gardaí were called to a house on Watercourse Road in Cork where a man had called to his ex-partner’s house and put her in fear.

Sergeant Gearóid Davis said that during the incident the accused man, Ciaran Hegarty of Rahilly Street, Cobh, County Cork, ignored instructions from gardaí and ran down the stairs in the house and confronted the woman again.
