The 44-year-old man involved in protests at Cork’s main library over LGBTQ+ reading material — who challenged the lord mayor of Cork on an online video only to end up with the mayor singing 'Oh What a Beautiful Morning' — had his case further adjourned on Tuesday until November 14.

Ross Lahive of Church Street, Shandon St, Cork, is charged that on September 4 he failed to appear in Cork District Court and that on August 26 at Bridewell garda station, Kyrl’s St, Cork, he did have a knife in his possession, contrary to Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act.
