Cork tenant caused 'epic damage and devastation' to couple's house 

Denis O’Connor from Hillside, Cappagh, Kinsale, Co Cork, received a two-year sentence, suspended from Thursday, after repaying the remainder of the €16,000 in criminal damage he caused 

Judge Sean O Donnabhain said: 'He was left in there in good faith with their consent and the damage he caused and the distress he caused to them was epic.' 

Epic damage and destruction was caused by a 67-year-old man who put a couple through a “living hell” when he was a tenant in their Ballinspittle house, and he has now paid for the remainder of the €16,000 in damage which he caused.

The couple described the “living hell” they were put through by the ‘cruel’ behaviour of tenant Denis O’Connor from Hillside, Cappagh, Kinsale, Co Cork.
