Burglars target Cork suburbs: Garda

Houses in Douglas and Togher in Cork are being targeted by burglars, a garda said yesterday as a Dubliner pleaded guilty to having house-breaking equipment.

Defence solicitor Donal Daly objected to this general observation by Insp Bill Duane at Cork District Court about burglaries in these southside suburbs.

Insp Duane said it would not be fair not to bring this issue to the attention of the court when sentencing John Cawley, originally from City West, Dublin, and now living at 418 Harold’s Cross Rd, Dublin.
