Two units of An Garda Síochána – including a jeep carrying armed officers – pursued a teenager driving at high speed through suburbs on the south side of Cork City and today the sentencing judge said someone could have been killed.

Judge Olann Kelleher made this comment at Cork District Court as he imposed a jail term of nine months on 19-year-old Colin O’Leary of Rossa Avenue, Bishopstown, Cork.
