Term cut due to error on previous convictions

A burglar has had his sentence backdated on appeal after his previous convictions were mis-stated.

Nicky O’Driscoll, aged 37, of Knocknaheeny, Cork, pleaded guilty at Cork Circuit Criminal Court to burglary at Innishannon, Co Cork, on January 7, 2014.

He was sentenced to three years imprisonment, with the final six months suspended, by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin on May 12, 2014.
