A former HSE home care assistant who was never in any trouble confessed on Monday to robbing two post offices and trying to rob a third one, while carrying a knife and threatening to kill people present.

The 49-year-old accused previously told gardaí that he carried out the crimes because he was trying to get money to travel to America to meet his fiancée.
