Man determined to beat addictions for his father, court told

A man with over 100 previous convictions expressed the desire to get over his serious addictions because that was what his late father wanted for his son.

William O’Driscoll, aged 31, of 53 Killala Gardens, Knocknaheeny, Cork, got an eight-month jail sentence yesterday for his latest offence.

That was for getting into a parked car without permission of the owner. He was found drunk in the back of the car.
