A woman told garda\u00ed she was put in fear when her intoxicated son climbed a drainpipe to get in to the family home through an upstairs window but he testified during his bail application in court that this was how everyone in the house got in after the front door was locked at night.<\/p>\n
Judge Mary Dorgan had doubts about this explanation and commented: \u201cI don\u2019t know anyone going into their house through upstairs windows.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The accused man said at an in-camera (private) hearing of Cork District Court: \u201cI promise you \u2013 that is what happens if the door is closed downstairs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Garda Shane Halligan said that while it was not alleged that the trespass was aggravated, one of the matters that made it of more serious concern was the fact that there was an infant asleep in the house at the time and that the accused was not welcome and had no permission to enter because of his addiction difficulties.<\/p>\n
Garda Halligan said the defendant\u2019s mother had renewed the protection order she has against her son under the Domestic Violence Act.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe has ongoing addiction issues and a turbulent lifestyle. Out fear is that there is a real risk he will interfere with the injured party and the rest of her family,\u201d\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Garda Halligan said.<\/p>\n
The judge indicated that she was going to refuse bail on the charge of trespassing at the family home at 9.30pm on April 22.<\/p>\n
Solicitor Frank Buttimer called the 33-year-old defendant to give evidence in his bail application.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was living in my mother\u2019s house, it was her idea,\u201d he said. Garda Halligan said this was disputed.<\/p>\n
Mr Buttimer asked the accused if he was surprised that the guards arrested him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He replied: \u201cI was shocked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The defendant then said to the judge: \u201cPlease give me one more chance, I really want to get this working, I really do. I am trying to change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judge Dorgan refused bail and remanded him in custody until April 30. The accused said: \u201cIt is not fair.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he was being escorted from the courtroom by a garda, he began to resist violently and four garda\u00ed eventually managed to remove him to the custodial area as he made threats to harm himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman told garda\u00ed she was put in fear when her intoxicated son climbed a drainpipe to get…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[79,54,61,60,43],"class_list":["post-416083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-cork-news","tag-courts","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
