A Skibbereen-based man who admitted impeding a murder investigation in the town by driving a man away from a house where another man was in a seriously injured condition will be sentenced on March 7.

Ms Justice Eileen Creedon heard an outline of the prosecution case and the defence submissions at the sentencing hearing of the Central Criminal Court sitting in Cork. The judge then requested the preparation of a probation report on defendant, Thomas Fitchett, of The Moorings, Skibbereen, County Cork.
