Man who court heard migrated across Europe jailed for trespass and cannabis possession

An Algerian man who a court heard had left his country on an improvised boat and travelled across Europe using at least four different names has been sent to jail for trespass and possessing cannabis.

The accused came to garda attention for trespassing at a house in Cork where he was squatting and two counts of having cannabis for his own use. He pleaded guilty to all charges and wanted to be sentenced today.
