Guitar player is given two-month term for burglary

A Cork man who asked for his community service to include playing the guitar was jailed for two months yesterday for a burglary committed last month.

Judge Olann Kelleher yesterday recalled the accused from a previous court case in January, saying: “You’re the man who wanted to play guitar on his community service.”

However, there was no second offer of community service made by the judge to Alfred Purcell yesterday.
