Postman jailed for dumping 10k letters

A POSTMAN was jailed for four months yesterday for dumping over 10,000 letters over a six-month period as the judge said people were depending on him and he let them down.

Daniel O’Regan, of 6 Ard Abhainn, Knockraha, Co Cork, pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to three charges arising out of his actions. Sentencing had been adjourned a number of times before yesterday’s four-month jail sentence.

Judge Con O’Leary said: “I am not going to give a licence to postmen to dump mail. He has not put up anything in his defence to take it out of the very serious.”
