“I don’t give a f*** about your charge,” a man with 101 previous convictions told a member of An Garda Síochána who served him with a new theft count.
Mikalai Fitzmaurice, aged 30, of Graigue, Adare, Co Limerick, was appearing before Cork District Court.
Sergeant John Kelleher said the man was charged with carrying out a theft shortly before Christmas. He is accused of stealing a €170 Projek Raw jacket from TK Maxx on Cornmarket St, Cork city, on December 22, 2025.
Judge Mary Dorgan noted the evidence of the reply made by the man when charged.
He pleaded guilty to the offence. Sgt. Kelleher said the accused had 33 convictions for theft among his total number of previous offences.
The judge was told that the man had been clean of drugs for some time but returned to Cork, met an old friend, and ended up getting into difficulties.
Taking the previous convictions into consideration, Judge Dorgan imposed a four-month prison sentence on the defendant.
