'I never thought I would say going to jail was a good thing', Cork mother says of son who breached barring order

Accused breached order nine minutes after it was served on him, court told

Accused was jailed for five months.

A 27-year-old Cork man who put his mother in fear by breaching a barring order only nine minutes after it was served on him has been jailed for five months.

The victim said she loved her son but hated his behaviour. She added in the course of an in-camera hearing at Cork District Court that her son was a hero to his younger siblings and they did not need to see him behaving in this way while under the influence of drugs.
