Two years for man who possessed Kalashnikov ammunition and burnt Northern sterling
Burnt Northern sterling was found after a chimney fire in Passage West, Co Cork, prompting a follow-up search where live ammunition for a Kalashnikov assault rifle was found and today the householder was jailed for two years.
Judge Con Murphy said that having 220 live rounds for such an assault rifle was a very serious offence and he sentenced Don Blaney (aged 51) of Cnoc Abhainn, Old Church Road, Passage West, to two years.
