Brothers jailed last year for pressurising an elderly and vulnerable woman to buy a range of products she didn't need are likely to oppose a garda application that the items seized - including generators and power washers - be disposed of.

Thomas O'Driscoll of Boherbue, Rathkeale, and Patrick O'Driscoll of Wolfburgess East, Rathkeale, Co Limerick, pleaded guilty last year to theft and deception charges.
