Cork man denies seeing loaded gun found by Garda in car

The court heard that when Jonathan O’Sullivan was searched there was a single key in his pocket and this opened the car where the automatic pistol was found.

Jonathan O’Sullivan of 55 Barrett’s Buildings, Gurranabraher, Cork, denied possession of the automatic pistol and the ammunition at Cork Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.

Gardaí found a loaded pistol on the floor in the front of a black Audi car in the early hours of the morning but the man arrested nearby on the road in a housing estate with the car key in his pocket said he did not know the gun was there.

That was the evidence that emerged during the trial of 40-year-old Jonathan O’Sullivan of 55 Barrett’s Buildings, Gurranabraher, Cork, who was put on trial yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
