A 45-year-old woman is pleading not guilty to handling stolen property in a case where a community group put a tracking device into a hanging basket of flowers because of previous baskets going missing.

The case was adjourned until today in relation to Mary O’Driscoll of 18 Brookhill, Ballea Road, Carrigaline, Co Cork, to allow time for prosecution statements to be sent to the defence.
