Man charged over jeep hijack

A MAN accused of hijacking a jeep at Cork Airport was charged before Cork District Court yesterday.

Edmond Stapleton, aged 37, of no fixed abode, spoke a number of times during the hearing before Judge David Riordan at Cork District Court.

Stapleton, dressed in black polo shirt and black pants and sporting a cut at the side of his face, put his hands behind his ears a number of times to show his frustration at not being able to hear what was being said in court.
