Jail terms of three years and three-and-a-half years were imposed on two men who carried out a targeted robbery at a house in Bandon which they believed contained a large amount of cash.

Judge Helen Boyle imposed a sentence of four years with the last six months suspended in the case at Cork Circuit Criminal Court against Larry O’Connor of An Duiche, Scahelene, Tipperary town. This will run consecutively to a 12-year sentence being served by the accused for an unrelated crime. Patrick Harty of Mountain View, Bansha Road, Tipperary got a sentence of four years with the final year suspended.
