A woman living with her young daughter in Bandon was terrified when a man smashed his way into her home at three o\u2019clock in the morning.<\/p>\n
Sergeant Pat Russell said at Cork Circuit Criminal Court that the burglary occurred on August 5, 2023, at Nicholas Church Lane in Bandon, County Cork.<\/p>\n
Glass was smashed in a downstairs window and the woman who lived there went down to see a man outside putting his hand through the broken window to open the latch on the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was aggressive and shouting: \u2018Open the door, open the door\u2019. She was terrified. She got her daughter and ran out of her home through the front door and phoned the garda\u00ed. She now fears for her safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cHughie Maguire can be seen on CCTV walking around the building, he is very intoxicated, he is seen putting on gloves. With a hammer in his hand, he tries to enter a number of apartments. He was arrested and detained and was uncooperative.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe woman does not want to make a victim impact statement. But she is frightened. She and her daughter have difficulty sleeping in the house,\u201d Sgt Russell said.<\/p>\n
Judge Dermot Sheehan was told that Hughie Maguire is now working and living in Dublin where he has an address at Glenmore House in Swords and doing much better in his life, although he had 100 previous convictions.<\/p>\n
Judge Sheehan noted that \u20ac200 compensation had been brought to Cork Circuit Criminal Court by Hughie Maguire to pay for the damage to the window. Mr Maguire indicated he was keen to gather more compensation.<\/p>\n
Judge Sheehan required him to gather \u20ac2,000 compensation for the woman and her daughter. \u201cI am not giving any promise about the sentencing but it would be indicative of some remorse.\u201d Sentencing was adjourned until February 16, 2026, for this purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman living with her young daughter in Bandon was terrified when a man smashed his way into…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136288,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2246,79,61,60,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-136287","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-cork-court","9":"tag-cork-news","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
