West Cork grandmother guilty of causing criminal damage to deceased neighbour's land 

Sionad Jones, from Kealkill, Co Cork. 

A grandmother has been found guilty of causing criminal damage on her deceased neighbour's land, who in the words of the judge rejected "almost like a voice from beyond the grave" her suggestion that he had allowed her to cut down his trees.

Sioned Jones, aged 62, from Maughnaclea, Kealkill, near Bantry in West Cork, had pleaded not guilty to the charges before Bantry District Court of causing criminal damage on land at Cappabue, Maughnaclea, on March 28 last year.
