William Delaney on the steps of Monaghan Courthouse.
A father of three who launched a foul-mouthed tirade of abuse at gardaí by telling them: “I am going to the pub, so f*** off, you c***” has been slated as a “man of leisure” by a judge for choosing to take time off work by instead going on the dole.
Judge Raymond Finnegan delivered the scathing attack on William Delaney (31) following his candid admission at a sitting of Monaghan District Court to rely on social welfare as a means of income as opposed to continuing in employment.
