Cases
latest first- Man sentenced to six years for burglary at Kilmacanogue, Wicklow Burglary; criminal damage · Co. Wicklow
On 9 January 2021, Darren Carton, a 42-year-old man from Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow, burgled the home of blues singer Mary Coughlan at Barchuilla Commons, Kilmacanogue, and caused €4,000 worth of criminal damage to a sliding door. Coughlan's son-in-law Ciarán Farrelly and partner John Kelly confronted the intruder, who threatened them with a knife before escaping after a brief struggle. Carton was identified from a phone video and a fingerprint left on a parked vehicle during the confrontation. He was found guilty of burglary and criminal damage following a seven-day jury trial at Wicklow Circuit Criminal Court in December 2022, and acquitted of a charge of threatening to kill Farrelly. Judge Patrick Quinn sentenced him to six years in prison with the final year suspended, backdated after he had spent over 18 months in custody.
