Call for psychiatric report into Cork man, 54, charged with stabbing woman and two children

A psychiatric report has now been directed in advance of sentencing a 54-year-old man who confessed to carrying out a serious stabbing attack last Christmas on a woman and also causing harm to two of her children.

Thomas O’Sullivan of Silvercourt, Silversprings, Cork, previously indicated he would confirm his written pleas of guilty to all charges and he was brought to Cork Circuit Criminal Court today where he did confirm those.
