Strike nearly scuppers defendant’s efforts to get to court

The 47–year-old man, who previously pleaded guilty to his part in a raid on Costcutters store in Ballyhea, Charleville, Co Cork, should have been in court yesterday morning to be sentenced.
However, with no bus, Dariusz Dabrowski with an address at West End, Mallow, Co Cork, found himself stranded and unable to turn up for sentencing for the robbery of €680 worth of cigarettes and €852 in cash, on Nov 6, 2011.
