Man pleads guilty to stealing cash from Cork firm over three-year period

A 32-year-old man signed a plea of guilty yesterday to 14 counts of theft of cash from a company at Little Island, Co Cork, over a period of more than three years.

Detective Garda Alan McCarthy served a book of evidence on Brian O’Shea, aged 32, of 40 Corrib Lawn, Mayfield, at Cork District Court.

His solicitor, Elaine O’Sullivan, said the accused wished to enter a signed plea of guilty to the charges. On that being undertaken, Judge Olann Kelleher sent the case forward for sentencing at the county sessions of Cork Circuit Criminal Court commencing October 23.
