A Buttevant-based man has confirmed that he robbed two taxi drivers at knifepoint in Cork city.
Jake Sheeran appeared at Cork Circuit Criminal Court where he confirmed his signed plea of guilty to both robberies.
Defence senior counsel Ray Boland said the accused had just over one month left to serve on another jail sentence and that he had been granted High Court bail in respect of these charges – provided that he attends a five-month residential treatment programme in Bruree, County Limerick.
Mr Boland said the defendant needed to attend at the probation service to facilitate the taking up of the residential place in Bruree.
Judge Helen Boyle directed the preparation of a probation report and adjourned the matter for mention at Cork Circuit Criminal Court in June.
It was previously alleged in this case that the accused had smoked a rock of cocaine before committing the offences.
