One of two men convicted of the killing of Timothy Hourihane in Cork city has lodged an appeal against a life sentence.

Christopher O’Sullivan, of no fixed address and originally from Kerry, lodged his appeal with the Courts Service on April 5 — less than a week after he was handed down a life sentence for his role in the killing of the west Cork native. He had pleaded guilty to his role in the death of father-of-one Timmy Hourihane.
