The lesson here is. If you’re already going down for a previous crime. You may as well go on a one man crime spree. Everything after the initial crime is a freebie. Killing included.
How devastating for that poor family.
How are the judges in this country allowed to hand out sentencing that cares not about the victim side?
The concurrent sentencing is disgraceful, it’s so incredibly unfair and cruel it’s hard to fathom it. He should only start his sentence for Joe after he serves his full sentence for the gun crime. Outrageous
The lack of consecutive sentencing in this country is a dangerous system which encourages wanton criminality and undoubtedly costs lives.
Me and you pay, the scum who we pay for in various ways laugh at us.
My heart goes out to them, I didn’t realise that a concurrent sentence was possible for crimes like that.
“In court, after the sentences were imposed, Tim Drennan, the father of Joe Drennan, asked Judge Daly: “Sorry, your honour, does that mean that this fella (Fogarty) will not serve a day (in jail) for killing my son?”.
Earlier the judge had said the hit-and-run sentence would run in addition to the shooting sentence, but later the judge corrected this.
The judge, rising from his bench, did not respond to Tim Drennan’s query, and retired to his private chambers.”
Fair play to the father for addressing the judge with that remark. I’d be heartbroken and livid with disgust if I was him.
Absolute disgrace
So, is this.constant concurrent sentencing due to lack of prison space or what’s the logic?
Can we build a brand new big fuck off prison somewhere?
Ireland has become a shit hole in term of its judicial system. Lenient sentences are an obvious cause of high population with less prison spaces. Nobody wants a prison in there town realistically. So it’s either treat prisoners like wild animals and overcrowd them or you get shit like this.
My heart goes out to the family of Joe. Sickening stuff
Horrible decision I hope the DPP appeals this
They’d wanna take a close look at that judges bank account.
Laws need to be changed to deal with cases like this. Driving in a built up busy neighbourhood at 120km/h should not be classified as dangerous driving. This should have been treated as manslaughter at the bare minimum.
A shameful, weak and utterly spineless sentence from judge Daly.
Fogarty is an unrepentant scumbag, I hope he gets the end he deserves.
Really hope the DPP challenges this.
The law is an ass
Sad to say this isn’t unusual with drivers and their punishments.
Disgraceful sentence. Way too lenient. My heart goes out to the family.
Im not advocating violence here but if one of the family had gone up and given the Judge a dig i think most people would back them over the judge
Fucking hell. Only waiting at a bus stop and this scum tried to wipe away forensic evidence and all
A disgrace.
Law needs to change.
Anyone on a driving ban who kills should be charged with manslaughter or murder.
This is disgusting. I’m furious after reading that. The family deserves justice.
All the hours of investigation, court proceedings, prosecution costs, and defence costs. After killing a man and fleeing the scene and he will not serve a single hour in prison. All funded by us fools.
Career criminals should not have mitigating factors taken into account. They should not be allowed concurrent or suspended sentences. This type of animal deserves a life sentence, and he should remain behind bars until the day he dies.
Helen McEntee and her party of law and order are absolute scabs. Stealing a living from us taxpayers.
