Two men have been sentenced to two years in jail each for forcing an elderly and vulnerable woman to buy a range of power tools, chainsaws and generators for which she had no use.
Thomas O’Driscoll, 39, of Boherbue, Rathkeale, and 38-year old Patrick O’Driscoll of Wolfburgess East, Rathkeale, Co Limerick, pleaded guilty to theft and deception charges involving €6,500.
They were sentenced at the Circuit Criminal Court in Cork by Judge Sean Ó Donnabháin, who described the men’s actions as a total invasion of privacy and said the offences were phenomenally serious.
