A “persistent” burglar, who was caught by gardaí in a Meath school wearing a sombrero hat and holding a “My Favourite Teacher” mug, has been given a two-year suspended sentence by a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court judge.

Darren Osborne (40), Clonee, pleaded guilty to burglary of the school in Littlepace, Clonee, on July 7th, 2010. Judge Martin Nolan said he would give him a “last chance” but he was not sure if he “has it in him to stay out of trouble”.
