Man involved in several disturbances around Cork city

James Sheehan was seen by gardaí falling down as he repeatedly tried to walk up an escalator which was going down.

Sexist and homophobic insults were hurled at gardaí by a man involved in numerous disturbances in Cork city including one where he kept falling as he tried to go up an escalator going down.

James Sheehan, 32, pleaded guilty to these and other offences but appealed to Judge Colm Roberts not to jail him as he had just moved into an apartment on Boreenmanna Road and was working five days a week in a new job.
