School was ransacked after birthday party, court hears

A teenager’s celebrations of his 18th birthday party with friends turned into the ransacking of their local school and almost €10,000 in criminal damage.

Birthday boy Ciarán Conway of Valley View, Aglish, Coachford, Co Cork, was at Cork District Court yesterday on a charge of stealing a cash register from Ballincollig Community School.

Det Garda Pat Condon investigated the ransacking of the school on the night.
