Cork judge notes 'very sad lives of addiction' of two men accused of stealing car

One of the accused told the court: 'If I go back to prison I will be on the floor and back to square one.'

The court heard both men had been on heroin substitutes to get off the drug but had stopped taking the substitutes and relapsed on to the drug itself. File picture: Getty

A district court judge said it was very sad to see the lives of addiction led by two men who came before a court in Cork on Friday on charges of travelling in a stolen car at Wilton in the early hours of yesterday.

39-year-old Anthony O’Sullivan of Araglen Court, Deanrock estate, Togher, Cork, is charged with being a passenger in a stolen car at Wilton at around 5.30am on Thursday, September 25.
