Ian Bailey says he was the victim of "a verbal and offensive tirade" in Schull Country Market last Sunday. He told Cork Beo he has since lodged a formal complaint to the Gardaí over the incident.
Bailey said he was 'shocked' when he realised that he was being shouted at, telling Cork Beo: "I was in the market Sunday last, when I became aware that I was being verbally abused."
The former journalist said that the issue was not just about his own personal feelings - but that he was taking a stand against this kind of behaviour and letting people know he will not put up with it.
