A man has received jailed sentences totalling 10 months for separate criminal damage incidents in a West Cork town, including smashing the windows of a well-known restaurant.

Ian Curley of James House, the Quay, in Castletownshend had earlier pleaded guilty to the criminal damage charges in the early hours of August 13 last in Castletownshend — one at the Lawn, in which a car was damaged, another at Cross St, where another car was damaged, and then at Mary Ann's Pub and Restaurant, where a number of panes of glass in a window were smashed.
