Drunk Corkman challenged gardaí to a fight, calling one a 'pig w**ker'

Judge said of insulting language accused used to gardaí: 'This is disgraceful behaviour'

Accused pleaded guilty to engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and being so intoxicated he was a danger to himself or others.

Gardaí who responded to a call for help in a residential area in Cork City were challenged to a fight by a man who caused the disturbance.

Denis Cullen, of Courtown Drive, Knocknaheeny, Cork, also verbally abused officers calling them "c***s" and referring to one officer as a "pig w**ker".
