Judge Helen Boyle said today that she believed he had reduced culpability because of his head injury.

She was told his family had returned to Hungary and once his sentence was served he too planned to return home.

Detective Garda Peter Quinn previously told the court that Konyari took part in a three-day crime spree which eventually ended in the car park of Dwyer’s Electrical on Forge Hill on the southside of Cork city.
