Medical evidence is to be given on the psychiatric background of a case where a 48-year-old man carrying three knives walked into the Bridewell garda station saying that he was going to stab someone on St Patrick’s St in Cork.

The accused man had no previous convictions of any kind before this unusual incident occurred. Now at Cork District Court, Finbarr O’Connell, of 11 Sunview, Fair Hill, Cork, has pleaded guilty to the charges against him.
