Three knives were found on a 48-year-old man who was never in trouble in his life after he walked into the Bridewell garda station saying he was going to stab someone on St. Patrick’s Street in Cork, it was alleged in court.

These were the allegations outlined by Garda Wayne McGrath in the case against Finbarr O’Connell of 11 Sunview, Fair Hill, Cork, at Cork District Court who applied unsuccessfully for bail.
