Remand for man on child porn charges

Gardaí brought a man before Cork District Court yesterday on a charge of having thousands of images of child pornography at a house in Cork more than four years ago.

Detective Garda Aidan Forrest arrested Niall O’Brien, aged 43, and charged him with the offence related to February 9, 2010.

It is alleged in the charge that while Mr O’Brien was living at 103 Ardbhaile, Mayfield, Cork, at that time he knowingly had in his possession child pornography.
