Corkman shouted 'Do you want to die, black boy?' while holding screwdriver, court told

James Hogan was remanded in custody until July 29

Frank Buttimer, defence solicitor, said that while the matter before the court could be dealt with at district or circuit court, such matters of this kind were regularly disposed of in the district court, adding that in his experience, 85% to 90% of them were disposed of summarily.

“Do you want to die, black boy?” were the words allegedly shouted by a young Cork man armed with a screwdriver at another man in the city and on Monday there was an objection to bail being granted to him.

James Hogan of 60 Liffey Park, Mayfield, Cork, appeared before Judge Mary Dorgan at Cork District Court.
