No bail for Cork man accused of ramming ex-partner's car into her house

The court heard that 'upwards of €40,000 worth of damage was caused'

The judge said the accused man was talking about wanting to go into treatment for alcohol addiction but she said that he should have gone about that before he went into custody. File picture: Larry Cummins

Two cars were rammed by a drunken man and one of them was shunted a distance of over five metres into the front of his ex-partner’s house causing a total of over €40,000 damage, a garda claimed as she objected to bail, citing the risk to the community.

Judge Monica Leech decided after hearing the application by the 46-year-old at an in camera hearing of Cork District Court that bail should be refused on Friday.
