Suspended sentence for Cork robber reactivated

The last 12 months of the man's sentence had been suspended on condition that the accused would comply with the directions of the probation service.

A man who got the end of a four-year jail term for robbery suspended will now have to serve more of the sentence because of his failure to cooperate with the probation service.

Roy O’Callaghan of no fixed address and previously of Bridgefield Close, Bishopstown, Cork, had 256 previous convictions including 68 for theft.
