Saving of 20c costs man four months in jail

Saving on the 20c cost of using a public toilet resulted in a man getting a four-month jail term.

Judge Con O’Leary imposed that sentence on Ciarán Callanan, of 61 Monastery Avenue, Monastery Hill, Cork, at Cork District Court, earlier this week.

Callanan pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to the door of a toilet at North Main Street Shopping Centre.
