Arsonist who left glasses at scene should not have gone to Specsavers

IT was a case of “should not have gone to Specsavers” for a man who was traced after he left his glasses at the scene of a fire he set in a west Cork night club.

Cork District Court has heard how Stephen Tobin, aged 35, had a grudge against someone at O’Riada’s nightclub in Masseytown, Macroom, and climbed on to the roof, broke his way in by pulling off tiles and then set fire to the dance-floor.

The fire caused €500,000 in damage.
