## Resource

A well-known Sligo property tycoon has been jailed for two years for savagely beating three teenage boys he wrongly blamed for breaking a window. Cathal O’Connor choked one boy until he lost consciousness, threatened another with a saw, and used an iron bar to hit one in the face. Niall talks to Crime World's Alan Sherry about O'Connor's violent attack and how an ex-TD gave him a character reference.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
