A man accused of criminal damage arising out of spraying graffiti said he had before-and-after photographs to show the wall was already completely covered with paint and that he did not write any profanities.

Barry O’Brien of 7 Innishannon Road, Fairhill, Cork, wanted his case finalised on Monday and reacted to the fact that it was being adjourned for over a month. “I have bad mental health issues over this case—I can’t do it anymore,” Mr O’Brien said.
