Cork man charged with having an improvised shotgun

Man charged with two counts under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act

The case was adjourned by Judge Mary Dorgan to allow time for directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions at Cork District Court.

DPP directions will be given on December 16 in the case against a 21-year-old man charged with having an improvised shotgun during an incident in Shanakiel in Cork last August.

Sergeant Gearóid Davis told Cork District Court that he had clarified with the senior officer in the investigation, and that Garda Gary Purtill testified that he arrested Craig Condron, of 76 Templeacre Avenue, Gurranabraher, Cork, just before 10am on October 14 and subsequently charged him with two counts under the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act.
