“Caught rotten”, was how a district court judge referred to the arrest of a man with a homemade balaclava, gloves and a crowbar at the scene of a break-in to a pub in Cork in the early hours of Saturday.

Garda Laura Prenderville testified that 48-year-old David O’Brien, of 15 Maple Place, Togher, Cork, was arrested and brought before Cork District Court.
