A Cork man who pleaded guilty to one count of entering a building with intent to commit an offence and one count of criminal damage had been given “chance after chance” to sort his life out, according to a district court judge.

Court presenter Sergeant Tom Mulcahy told Bantry District Court that a disturbance was reported at Dromleigh South, Bantry, Co Cork, in the early hours of the morning. A resident woke at 2am to suspicious sounds at a neighbouring vacant property.
