A homeless alcoholic who afflicted Dublin's Temple Bar for a year-and-a-half by abusing passers-by, exposing himself and assaulting gardai who arrested him, was jailed for seven months yesterday.
Frank Gray (60) pleaded guilty to more than two dozen public order offences committed mainly in Temple Bar between August 1999 and February this year.
"To describe him as a menace on the streets would be almost an under-statement," Judge Gerard Haughton said.
