Plumber who lost plot jailed for assault after parking place row Assailant struck victim with poker, threatened to destroy house and car during quarrel

A 46-year-old plumber has been jailed for three years for striking another man with a poker and threatening to destroy his house and car during a row over a parking space.
Gavin Craven from Glenfield Avenue, Ballyvolane, Co Cork, also claimed to be a member of the IRA during the incident.
He pleaded guilty on Monday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm to a man at Liffey Park, Mayfield, in early August 2020, contrary to section three of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997.
Ian Bailey has challenged the statutory right of gardaí to process a drug-driving prosecution against him.
The revelation came as Bantry District Court adjourned four charges against the 62-year-old freelance journalist and law graduate who last year successfully fought extradition to France over the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier (39).
Mr Bailey has consistently protested his innocence in relation to the December 23, 1996 killing of the French mother of one at her west Cork holiday home.
The Manchester-born poet was convicted in absentia by a French court of the killing in 2019 but has repeatedly claimed that attempts were made to frame him for the crime.

AN AIRLINE passenger whose drunken behaviour forced a flight to divert to Cork has been fined €1,500.
Brit Gemma Campbell was so abusive towards the cabin crew on a flight from the Canary Islands to Manchester that the captain was forced to land in Ireland because of fears for the safety of all those on board.
