“F*** you, I’m the boss, I am Satan.” That was part of a 54-year-old man’s rant against gardaí as he violently resisted arrest during an incident in Cork City.

The incident came to light at Cork District Court where Sergeant Aisling Murphy described the background to the incident involving Niall O’Brien.
