This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Joseph Lernihan’s case over twice robbing a pensioner was adjourned for one week, reported on 21 March 2015, to assess his suitability for community service.

Lernihan had pleaded guilty to two robberies at a West Clare pensioner’s home in February 2012.

The pensioner later cycled 30 miles through the night and checked himself into a nursing home.

Lernihan had previously received a suspended three-year sentence, ordered to pay €3,780 compensation and surrender a Volkswagen Passat.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
