€5k compo ‘to make amends’ for burglary

A burglar who broke into the home of a Kerry man in his 70s, causing minor criminal damage, has been told to provide €5,000 compensation “to make amends”.

Luke Wall, aged 21, of Phelan St, Rathvilly, Co Carlow, admitted to burglary and criminal damage at the home of a man at Nunstown, Aghadoe, Killarney, on December 12, 2014.

Killarney District Court heard that he had since been jailed at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, also for burglary.
