Two West Cork men received 60-day prison sentences for carrying out an unauthorised collection for a charity in Kinsale last November.

A judge has handed down 60-day jail sentences to two men for carrying out an unauthorised collection for the Jack and Jill Foundation, saying he didn't believe their explanation and instead found it was for "self-enrichment".

John Delaney and James Delaney, of Pier Road in Bantry in Co Cork, both pleaded guilty before Bandon District Court to one count each of conducting an unauthorised collection in the car park of Lidl in Kinsale on November 23 last.
