Cork teen accused of trying to burgle neighbour's house fell asleep on bed, court told  

A teenager was remanded in custody until August 11, where he is accused of trying to burgle a neighbour’s house in Mahon to steal a television and PlayStation from a bedroom, and then lying down and falling asleep.

Judge Mary Dorgan remanded 19-year-old Michael Harrington of Ravensdale Rd, Mahon, in custody until that date.

Sergeant John Dineen said directions were still awaited from the DPP.

Det Sgt Niall Hayes said previously: “It is alleged that on May 31, 2025, Harrington entered a house at Ravensdale Rd without permission of the home owner, and proceeded to ransack a bedroom in the house and place a PlayStation, PlayStation games, and a television in a bag by the bedroom door.

“He then fell asleep on the bed and was found there by neighbours who are related to the owner. He admitted attempting to steal, before falling asleep in the bed. 

"At the time of his arrest, he was found hiding in the attic of his home.”
