A tracking device in a community group’s hanging basket helped gardaí to find the flowers that had been decorating their remote area outside Killeagh after they were moved to the home of a mother-of-seven in Carrigaline.

The 45-year-old woman had denied the charge of handling stolen property and after a number of adjournments, the case was listed for hearing at Cork District Court on Thursday.
