Man called woman a whore and drove toward a wall after she refused to restart a relationship with him

Judge Helen Boyle jailed the man for 18 months at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

A motorist terrified a young woman by driving at a wall and swerving away at the last moment, telling her, “This is what a real man is”, as he did handbrake turns.

Detective Garda Dave Forsythe testified that the accused man, Jay Whelan, of Liam McGearailt Place, Fermoy, Co Cork, threatened to cause serious injury to a young woman.
