text1: Fitzpatrick (42), of Larkfield Close, Lucan, Co Dublin, pleaded guilty to fraud and making a false report to gardai at his store on June 13, 2007, at the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Judge Martin Nolan called it a "case of desperation" and sentenced Fitzpatrick to two years, suspended for three years. Garda Claire O'Malley told the court she responded to a call from Mr Fitzpatrick and found him standing outside his shop in a distressed state. He showed her the empty clothes railings and said two men had come in and ordered him to go into the back office. He said they told him to stay there while they took €20,000 worth of clothes. He claimed he emerged 30 minutes later and phoned gardai. Two witnesses reported seeing the men load the clothes into a white van and were able to give gardai the registration number.
