The Lithuanian getaway driver for a gang that terrorised a man into handing over €50,000 from the safe at his home in Midleton, Co Cork, is to be freed from prison to fly home — and not return for at least 14 years.

Defence barrister Donal O’Sullivan applied to have the case re-entered at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
