Fitzpatrick, originally from Manchester but with an address at St Joseph’s Place, Limerick, was arrested in London last week on foot of a European arrest warrant which was issued in early 2010.
An Irish bench warrant was initially issued in October 2009 after he failed to turn up in court in Limerick to face the robbery charge.
Judge Eugene O’Kelly was told that Fitzpatrick had acted as a lookout during the theft from Meed Beauty on Parnell Street, Limerick, on 15 August 2009.
The court was told there was no direct altercation between the accused and the injured parties.
After accepting Fitzpatrick’s guilty plea, Judge O’Kelly remanded him in custody until next Tuesday for sentencing.
