Six years for murdering someone in cold blood as long as you owned up to it and said you were sorry?
Killed someone without provocation and gets the equivalent of what robbing 50€ from someone’s house would get. Well done 👏🏻

Well at least he was remorseful
> After the sentence was handed down, O’Neill winked and smiled at somebody in the body of the courtroom. A member of the public told him to “wipe that stupid smile off your face” before prison officers escorted O’Neill from the court.

I’m a bit disgusted with Nolan on this. The guilty person was smirking at someone in the gallery on the way out. Delighted with a short sentence. And when someone told him to wipe that grin off his face he reacted with threats and fury.
And apparently he has over 20 previous convictions including ones that sent him to prison previously. And the judge that decided that previous sentence and term of imprisonment that he was released from and went on to kill this entirely innocent man unprovoked in any way?
Judge Nolan.
Now it seems the same judge Nolan wants to give this guy only 6 years. What happens when he gets out then? What if he injures and kills more people as per his established form?
6 years is not enough for this. And while I know judges can’t indulge themselves by jailing every scumbag for very long sentences, because it is expensive and there are not enough places, I feel this guy shouldn’t be getting out in 6 years (or less) because of the danger he poses to society.
I think a lot of it was to do with Nolan sending a signal to scumbags that if they save the court a load of time by pleading guilty, they will be rewarded with shorter sentences.

Nolalln jailed that lad for 6 years for killing a man. Nolan has already jailed that lad (with suspended) in 2012 for 3 years for an attempt to run over a man with a car.
I am geniunely, without smirk, curious: does Nolan, at any moments, realize that his actions are LITERALLY causing human deaths?

The sentencing is a joke but what annoys me is that this animal was up in front of that clown Nolan for a v serious charge at 19, so the he would’ve known all about him.
Must’ve been a horrible experience for the family, and once more the courts system in this country fails the victim.

Does anyone know why in Ireland we’re more likely to see a picture of the victim rather than the perpetrator in the news?

What can we actually do about this? Not just Nolan but the fact sentencing legislation even allows it?

We need more prisons. We need to look at sentencing. We need to have a mechanism for holding judges accountable for public engagement. I know this is on the extreme end and is possibly impossible to implement correctly, but we could also look at introducing the death sentence in my opinion, I see absolutely no value to society in spending money feeding and housing this scum bag so that he can be released in 6 years and murder someone else, he will never be a decent or useful member of society, this is a case where this is no doubt that the perpetrator is guilty, the perpetrator is also a repeat offender and the perpetrator shows no genuine remorse for his heinous actions, so why do we need to put our own lives in danger by enabling this filth back into society?

No guesses for who the judge is
