Three years for man who burgled home of man he saved from drowning

A Tallaght man who burgled the family home of a man he saved from drowning in the canal has been jailed for three years.

Kenneth Nevin (aged 27) of Kilcarrig Green broke into Mr Raymond McMahon’s house in the neighbouring cul-de-sac and demanded €60 he claimed the family owed him for a Mater Hopital bill, when they discovered him in the sitting room with a screwdriver up his sleeve.
