'I went on the beer for four or five days': No bail for two men accused of driving cherry picker through Cork City

Cork District Court heard that one of the defendants 'disputes cheering loudly in a celebratory manner'

One of the the defendants admitted that they were cheering on Oliver Plunkett Street.

The widely shared videos of drunken men jumping around in the cage of a cherry picker being driven through Cork city centre on Sunday night saw two men appearing at Cork District Court on Tuesday.

The Mary Elmes Bridge in Cork City was damaged with a portion of it crashing into the River Lee when the cherry picker — or mechanical scissor lift — was driven on to the pedestrian bridge causing some of the bridge floor to crash into the River Lee.
