A man who called 999 and then abused gardaí when they turned up at his home was lucky to only be charged with being intoxicated in a public place, according to the presiding judge in a court in Cork.
Court presenter Sergeant Eimear O’Connell told Macroom District Court that Robert Maternik, aged 37, of Pairc na Deireachta, Masseytown, Macroom, Co Cork called gardaí at 8.40pm on the evening of October 22, 2024.
