Cork man held in relation to robbery of woman, 81

A man has been remanded in custody in relation to an 81-year-old woman, walking along Winthrop Street in Cork City centre, being the victim of a robbery.

At Cork District Court yesterday, Detective Garda Ian Coughlan said gardaí were opposed to bail being granted to Stephen O’Sullivan, 23.

He stated the accused was already in breach of recent bail requiring him to live with his mother at 53, Reendowney Place, Ballyphehane, Cork; abide by a night curfew; abstain from all intoxicants; and sign at a Garda station three times a week.
