Teen with 44 convictions ‘a loose cannon’ on alcohol

A Killarney man was “a loose cannon” when he consumed alcohol, Killarney District Court has heard.

Already with 44 previous convictions, Con Ryan was yesterday sentenced to 15 months in jail for damaging the glass door at the award- winning Killarney Railway station and for possession of a knife on another occasion.

Ryan, aged 18, of Doirin Alainn, Killarney, appeared in custody at the district court, his High Court bail having been earlier revoked.
