A break-in to a vintage convertible car parked outside a house left the owner distressed, depressed and infuriated by the damage caused to the car he inherited from his late father.

On Tuesday at Cork District Court, Judge Mary Dorgan imposed an eight-month sentence on 25-year-old Cian Higgins of 134 Kilbarry Place, Farranree, Cork.
