Open door led to Cork attack

A 72-year-old man was attacked when he admitted a young man to his apartment building thinking he was a resident and yesterday the culprit who sold his car to gather compensation was told he would have to get more money for the victim.

Defence solicitor, Eamon Moloney, said that Jake Moynihan had sold his car and had brought the €2,800 he received for it to Cork District Court as an offer of compensation to the victim.

Mr Moloney said that represented an enormous amount of money to the accused and showed his remorse.
