A 57-year-old grandfather of 24 and his 34-year-old son have avoided prison and warned against committing burglaries and trespassing on rural farms.

William O'Reilly Sr and William O'Reilly Jr, both of 52 Willow Bank Drive, Fairhill in Cork, were found guilty of burglary and trespass respectively at Clonakilty District Court, despite their insistence that they had gone to a farm in Kilbrittain on September 23 last year simply to ask the farmer if they were selling scrap metal, old batteries, and a mobile home.
