A man who slapped and bit a garda attempting to assist him after he suffered a seizure in Dublin city centre has told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that he is very sorry for the offence.
Craig Shevlin (31), of Buckingham Street, Connolly Lodge, Dublin 1, pleaded guilty to assaulting Garda Caroline Thornton causing her harm on May 3rd, 2019. He has 14 previous convictions.
Standing too close or being face-to-face is also advised against. A distance of two metres from people you do not live or “bubble” with is advised. Where two metres is not possible, one metre is advised with a face covering. “@BucksCouncil great to see social distancing while your workforce are having a chat,” the person wrote on social media. “You put signs around town welcoming us back that still encourage 2m distancing but seem to forget to tell your own workers.” Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), they said the scene was “ironic” given the council signage ‘indicating the need to maintain a two-metre distance’.

Chips (pictured) was bisexual and had numerous sexual liaisons with both men and women. Our second extract features some of those, together with his fabulously indiscreet observations about London society
