A 35-year-old man accused of ramming Garda cars in Cork when his partner and six children were in his van during a long rampage asked for the case to be struck out because of the absence of directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Sergeant Gearóid Davis confirmed at Cork District Court on Thursday that the DPP had yet to give directions in the case.
