Staff at the Irish Kidney Association facility in Bishopstown were petrified of a neighbour who admitted that was threatening and abusive to them.

Garda Brian White investigated the case against 63-year-old Vincent O’Riordan of St. Anne’s, Wilton Avenue, Bishopstown, Cork, and charged him with three separate counts of engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour likely to lead to a breach of the peace under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act.
