No jail over 7,000 child porn images
Staff at the then Department of Arts, Sport, and Tourism discovered attempts to download inappropriate material on Patrick Corcoran’s, aged 53, computer during a software upgrade at the Kildare St offices in Dec 2009.
Members of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) seized a laptop and computer at Corcoran’s desk and later found 5,951 pornographic images of children between eight and 14 years old during a search of his former North Circular Rd home.
