Three men with Cork addresses have been charged in connection with a foiled armed robbery at the home of a businessman in Glounthaune on Sunday night.
46-year old Niall Fitzpatrick of Corrin Close, The Glen, Vincent Murray of Glandore Park, Knocknaheeny and Trevor O’Sullivan of Curraheen Drive, Bishopstown – both aged 37 – are all charged in relation to the offence.
Each of the accused made no reply after caution.
Gardai objected to bail for all three and the judge refused bail due to the nature and seriousness of the offence – which carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
The three were remanded in custody to appear again in court on August 21st.
