Gardaí had to help drunk robber down from wall

A MAN who stole wood from a convent to throw on a bonfire was so drunk when gardaí found him he couldn’t get down from the wall of the property without the officers’ assistance.

Stephen Buckley, of 29 Killeens Place, Farranree, Cork, was yesterday jailed for three months by Judge Con O’Leary for the crime.

Buckley received a three-month concurrent sentence for a separate incident where he threw a beer can at a garda patrol car.
