A 30-year-old man with 12 children was jailed for five months for stealing a MacBook in Cork.

Judge Olann Kelleher imposed the sentence of five months on Gheorghe Mazarache of Meadowbrook Close, Maynooth, County Kildare.

The defendant admitted that at Fonz on 65 St. Patrick Street, Cork, on April 3 2017, he stole the MacBook which was worth €1,200.

Shane Collins-Daly defence solicitor said, “Unfortunately, he cannot raise compensation.”
