'No slash-hooks,' judge tells young Corkman as he gets bail

The judge remarked: 'I will accept jurisdiction but a slash-hook falling out of someone’s jacket is not ideal.'

A ‘no slash-hooks’ condition was attached to a young man’s bail following evidence that such an implement fell out of his jacket onto the counter of an off-licence.

Judge Mary Dorgan said she would accept jurisdiction to deal with two charges against 24-year-old Simon Quilligan of 3 Aisling Court, Lehenaghmore, Cork.
