Cork man jailed for stealing Munster final tickets

A man who stole two match tickets and other items during a visit to a Killarney pub on the morning of the Munster final last year between Cork and Kerry has been jailed.

Noel O’Shaughnessy, aged 49, from Farranferris Park, Farranree in Cork City, did have a ticket for what the court was told was “the drawn game” between Cork and Kerry on July 5, 2015, in Killarney and had intended going to the match — but he sold it. “I had a ticket, but I sold it and bought drink with it, ” he told Killorglin District Court.

He went on a theft spree in three places, taking an iPhone as well as cash. In the Shire Pub, not far from Fitzgerald’s Stadium, he took €100 and a phone, as well as the match tickets.
