Two brothers from Dublin will return to jail next week after stealing from Aoife Quinn.
Sean Quinn's daughter had parked her car in a north inner city laneway last July, when 37-year-old Keith and 35-year-old Gary Kinlan from Summerhill Place in the city broke in and stole a HP laptop and iPhone 3GS.
They were caught - just moments later - by gardaí, hiding in a flats complex.
At the time, the two were serving a 18 months suspended portion of a three year jail term. The State has now sought to re-activate that suspended sentence.
The pair - who had pleaded guilty to the theft - said they needed time to collect dole payments, and organise childrens' Christmas presents.
They are now expected to be jailed next week.
